In addition to the epic clash in India-Pakistan on February 23, Australia meets with England, and Afghanistan plays his debut match at the tournament.
The ICC Champions trophy begins on Wednesday, with the best eight teams in the world competing in Pakistan and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for the prestigious title.
Here are three long -awaited matches in the group phase of the tournament of 50 above the country:
Australia vs. England (February 22):
The big rival of the ash is confronted at the Lahor Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday.
The owners of one-day international (ODI) World Cup Australia had the upper hand against their old enemies in the last 50 above matches and won their previous Series 3-2 last year.
But they both enter the championship trophy with question marks hanging over them.
Australia are without their “big three” pacemakers – Pat Kumins (ankle injury), Josh Hazelwood (hip injury) and Mitchell Stark, who gave up for personal reasons.
Add to the absences of all -encompassing Mitchell Marsh (back injury) and Marcus Stoynis (retired), and half of their regular team is missing.
The exhausted country underwent a Severe defeat from the ODI series in Sri Lanka 2-0 Just before the tournament.
England, with the Brandon McCulum test coach, who is already responsible, did not do better and was selected 3-0 in the ODI series in India.
After winning the 2019 World Cup and the T20 2022 World Cup, England is fighting in a white ball cricket.
Pakistan vs. India (February 23):
TV rates rocket with millions that set up to watch Pakistan and India at any time they fight with it because of the deep political rivalry between nuclear armed neighbors.
The two teams meet in Dubai on Sunday.
Tickets for the collision were sold out minutes after they were sold, as over 150,000 fans of queue online to take space at the stadium with a capacity of 25,000.
India refused to visit Pakistan for the tournament, forcing the latter to agree to partially abandon the hosting rights in Dubai after a long opposition.
On the ground, India is favorites to win the tournament for the third time, what is expected to be the international swans for Captain Rohit Sharma.
Pakistan are the holders of the trophies of the champions and the field of a talented but unpredictable composition.
Afghanistan vs. England (February 26):
More than 160 British politicians have called on England to boycott the match in Lahor on February 26 because of the erosion of the rights of women from the Taliban authorities in Afghanistan.
However, Captain Joss Butler rejected the idea, saying, “I don't think the boycott is the way to handle it.”
As the last -minute shock is overcome, the game will move on.
After being well beaten in India last week, Butler insisted that England could be “dangerous” to the championship trophy, even if the last evidence suggests otherwise.
Afghanistan has become a growing power in a white ball cricket in recent years, rising to the eighth in the ODI world ranking, in one place under England.
The Afghans defeated Australia on the way to the historic semi -final location of last year's T20 World Championship before losing to South Africa.
They also upset England at the 2023 World Cup in India, beating the stars team with 69 tracks in New Delhi.
