Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina believes that Pakistan has a better bowling lineup than the Indian side for the Champion Trophy 2025.The Champions Trophy 2013 winning star also stated that Pakistan will have a disadvantage in Dubai during their clash against India.

The much-awaited India vs Pakistan match will take place on February 23 at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. Raina has even stated India's last match against Pakistan at the same venue during the 2020 T20 World Cup, where the neighbouring nation won by 10 wickets.

'I think Pakistan has a better bowling attack. We both have left-arm fast bowlers, but the kind of passion they play with, and whenever they play in Dubai, they get the home advantage,' Raina told Star Sports.

'Pakistan has played a lot of cricket in Dubai, and we have also lost a World Cup game there. But this scenario will be different because Rohit Sharma knows how crucial these matches with Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand are,' he added.

The former Indian all-rounder even came in support of Virat Kohli, who failed to perform against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Kohli only score 190 runs in 5 matches.

'Virat Kohli will come again and win it for India; his performance will be out of the box' Raina also said.

Champions Trophy 2025 is set to begin February 19, where India will begin their campaign against Bangladesh on February 20. The Men in Blue will play all their matches in Dubai.
