Pakistan coach Aaqib Javed says his fast bowlers are “match-winners” and will pull out something special against archrivals India in their pivotal Champions Trophy clash on Sunday. Hosts and defending champions Pakistan need to win the blockbuster showdown with India in Dubai to keep their chances of making the semifinals in their own hands.

I think it is a big match, but I think the biggest match would obviously be the final that the team plays,” said India vice-captain Shubman Gill.

India and Pakistan are set to face off in the Champions Trophy 2025. India won their first match against Bangladesh while Pakistan lost to New Zealand.
