The high-voltage match of Champions Trophy 2025 will be played between India and Pakistan on 23 February at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Not only the fans of both the countries but the entire cricket world is going to keep an eye on this match. In such a situation, the mind game is being seen even before the start of the match. Although the record of the Pakistani team is much better in the Dubai stadium because they have played more matches here than any other team. The players of the Indian team also have the experience of playing in the Dubai stadium, due to which the thrill of this match is expected to be seen at a different level. In such a situation, the role of toss is also going to be very important in the match, in which if we look at the results of the last 10 matches, then the team batting first has faced more trouble.

The team chasing the target won in 7 out of the last 10 ODIs
The Indian team played its first match of Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai stadium itself, in which they won the match against Bangladesh by 6 wickets. In this match, although the Bangladesh team decided to bat first after winning the toss, but they did not get the expected runs on the board. It becomes very difficult for the batsmen to score runs on the slow pitch of Dubai as the ball gets old. However, the pitch becomes a little easier in the evening for the team chasing the target.

If we look at the record of the last 10 ODI matches played at Dubai International Stadium, out of them, the team chasing the target has managed to win the match 7 times, while the team batting first has been able to win only in 3 matches. In such a situation, the toss is going to be very important in this match between India and Pakistan because whichever team wins it can decide to bowl first keeping in mind the previous record.

Team India has lost the last 11 tosses
The Indian team last won the toss in this format in the semi-final match of the ODI World Cup played in the year 2023, since then Team India has played 11 ODI matches and has not been able to win the toss in any of them. In such a situation, if Team India loses the toss in the match against Pakistan, then it will also set a record of losing the toss in consecutive matches in the ODI format.
