ICC Champions Trophy 2025: It was an anti-climax for cricket fans hoping to catch the incredible India vs Pakistan clash as the tickets, released on the portal, got sold out in minutes. The Champions Trophy match between India and Pakistan will take place on 23 February at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Notably, India will play all their matches in Dubai. Pakistan, being the co-hosts, will play this marquee encounter in Dubai itself. It was no surprise that the demand for tickets will be at a high but them being sold out in minutes was unprecendent.

As per a report, "Fans rushed to secure seats for the marquee showdown, only to find that most ticket categories, including premium options priced at AED 2,000 and AED 5,000, were snapped up almost instantly."

Also, the ICC (International Cricket Council) in a release stated that the tickets for the Champions Trophy Final to be played on March 9 will be available for purchase following the conclusion of the first semi-final in Dubai.

The two-week competition will see the top eight teams play 15 matches over 19 days in Pakistan and the UAE. Group A features Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and New Zealand, while Group B includes Afghanistan, England, Australia, and South Africa. Hosts Pakistan enter the competition as defending champions after last winning the title in 2017 in England.

They will open the 2025 tournament against New Zealand in Karachi on February 19.

The tournament is also the first global cricket competition Pakistan is hosting since the Men's ODI World Cup in 1996. India and Australia are the two most successful sides in the Champions Trophy, having won it twice.
