We are ready for the second game of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, as the Group A match of India vs Bangladesh is ready to begin at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Both teams are set to start their journey in the tournament with this fixture.
India are the four-time finalists in the ICC Champions Trophy. While they lost the Final in the 2000 edition against New Zealand, their 2002 edition Final had no results in two days and finished as the joint-winners with the hosts Sri Lanka. The Men in Blue played Finals in the last two editions, where they beat the hosts England in the 2013 edition to win the trophy, and lost the 2017 edition against Pakistan.
On the other hand, Bangladesh managed their best record in the ICC Champions Trophy in the last edition (2017), where they reached the Semi-finals and lost the last four-stage game against the defending champions India.
