The Champions Trophy between India and Pakistan will be played in Mahamukabala Dubai on 23 February. Pakistan has suffered from New Zealand in their first match of the Champions Trophy while the Indian team defeated Bangladesh in their first match. Now India and Pakistan are going to fight in their second match. Both teams would not like to take this match lightly. By winning the first match, Team India, full of confidence, will have to escape from Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi. Shaheen has already blown up against India.

Team India may be in danger from Shaheen

The Indian team will play all their matches in Dubai in the Champions Trophy.

The match of India and Pakistan will also be on this ground. Passers have always dominated Dubai. This is also seen in the India-Bangladesh match. Mohammed Shami took five and Harshit Rana took three wickets. Fast bowlers took two wickets in the four wickets of India. Pakistan's leading fast bowler Shaheen can present a strong challenge to India on this ground. Shaheen also has pace and variations which can help him perform brilliantly against India.

Rohit-Virat and Rahul had to eat all four

During the T20 World Cup of 2021, India and Pakistan were confronted on this ground.

In this match, Shaheen wreaked havoc with his bowling. He had lbw Rohit Sharma on 0 runs in the first over. Rohit was dismissed on his first ball. After this, in Shaheen's next over, KL Rahul had scored just three runs. Rahul was bowled by Shaheen. Apart from this, Shaheen also had a wicket of Virat Kohli. Virat scored 57 runs in 49 balls. Pakistan won this match by 10 wickets. Once again, these three batsmen will be in front of Shaheen and now it has to be seen what Afridi does in front of the Indian team on Dubai ground.
