Pakistan face arch-rivals India in a Champions Trophy blockbuster on Sunday in front of a sell-out Dubai crowd knowing that another defeat will virtually end their title defence. The neighbours only meet in multi-nation events because of political tensions and the match is taking place in Dubai after India refused to travel to tournament hosts Pakistan.

Pakistan's chances of defending their Champions Trophy title have been dealt a major blow with opener Fakhar Zaman being ruled out for the remainder of the tournament due to an oblique injury.The injury occurred while Zaman was fielding in the first over of New Zealand's innings.
