Bhubaneswar, Feb. 23 -- Arch-rivals India and Pakistan have faced each other five times in the ICC Champions Trophy since 2004, with Pakistan holding a 3-2 edge.

Their inaugural clash in 2004 saw Pakistan chase down India's 200-run total with a three-wicket win in Southampton. The rivalry peaked in the 2017 final at The Oval, where Pakistan's Fakhar Zaman scored a match-winning 114 no, propelling them to a historic 180-run victory-the largest margin in an ICC final.

India's victories include an eight-wicket win in Birmingham (2013) led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar's bowling. Each encounter has been marked by high stakes; Sunday's 2025 clash offers India a chance to level the Champions Trophy head-to-head record .
