It is said that cricket is a game of uncertainties, if Bangladesh somehow defeats New Zealand and India continues its great form, then Pakistan only needs to beat Bangladesh by a good margin and they may get promoted to the next round.

India defeated Pakistan by six wickets in the most anticipated match of the Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on February 23 (Sunday). The defeat came as Pakistan’s second loss on the trot in the Champions Trophy and the hosts and the defending champions are now all but eliminated from the semifinals race.

According to a TOI report on Monday, India still needs one more victory to confirm their spot in the knockout stage without relying on other results.
