The India-Pakistan match in the Champions Trophy 2025 is planned to be the last league match, taking place in Lahore. However, this is pending approval from the Government of India.
The tournament is set to be held across three cities in Pakistan: Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi. Lahore is scheduled to host seven matches, Rawalpindi will host five matches, and Karachi will host three matches.
The Champions Trophy will run for 20 days, from February 19 to March 9, 2025.
Even though there is some uncertainty, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been advised to continue with their preparations for the event. This means getting the stadiums ready, making arrangements for teams and officials, and ensuring all logistics are in place for the tournament.
The PCB is also working on ensuring the safety and security of all participants and spectators. They need to coordinate with local authorities and international cricket bodies to make sure everything goes smoothly. Despite the pending approval from the Indian government, the PCB is expected to push forward with all necessary preparations to host a successful tournament.
