ICC has finally announced the fixtures for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. With Pakistan being one of the host and only host team to be playing the tournament also, would be under immense pressure to do good. So will all the recent glories translate into the successful title defense by the team green or the recent bad luck charm will continue for the hosts in this event too?

So need to win 2/3 to qualify for semis basically, right?
 
Perfectly spread out schedule for the host team which is going to start one of the favorites after back to back convincing ODI series wins in Australia and South Africa with a young team growing in confidence and a superstar emerging in Saim Ayub and maybe even Kamran Gulab.

Vibes of Bharat in ICC Knock out, 2000 when Yuvraj, Zaheer emerged from nowhere to take us to the finals.

Good luck Team Pakistan. Looking forward to great performances from this young and exciting team.
 
19 Feb – Pakistan v New Zealand (Most probably Pakistan will win)

23 Feb – Pakistan v India (India might edge out here)

27 Feb – Pakistan v Bangladesh ( Pakistan)

Cannot say for sure which teams are gonna qualify for the semis but if it is Australia then Pakistan might be out.

We should be going till semis for sure...
 
Good feeling about this. The batting is pretty much immune to collapse and the bowlers are all in form. Plus, the guys are confident and seem to be having fun.

Just need the second opener and the #7 to pull their weight and I don't see how they lose a single game. Toss in Dubai will be critical.
 
Pak tournament can be over within 4 days of starting the event as they can lose to NZ and Ind. and then a total loss of interest in pak for the CT. A very high probability of this.
