Team India will play all their matches of the Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, starting with the opening match against Bangladesh on Thursday (February 20).

Rohit Sharma and Co will next face arch-rivals Pakistan in the much-anticipated showdown in the Dubai venue on Sunday (February 23) before the Men in Blue take on New Zealand in their final Group A encounter on March 2.

The Indian team will also play their remaining matches in Dubai, should they qualify for the semi-final on March 4 and then the all important final, where they will aim to win the title on March 9. The Dubai International Cricket Stadium is one of the happy hunting grounds for India.
