Pakistan and England have been prominent cricketing nations, competing against each other since their first Test series in 1954. Over the years, they have played across formats in various tournaments and bilateral series. As of February 2025, England holds a better overall record than Pakistan in their cricketing encounters across all international formats.
The upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will see both teams placed in separate groups. Pakistan is in Group A alongside India, Bangladesh, and New Zealand, while England is in Group B with Australia, South Africa, and Afghanistan. As the host nation, Pakistan will look to win the title again after their 2017 victory, making full use of home conditions. Meanwhile, England, despite its cricketing prowess, is yet to secure a Champions Trophy and will view this edition as an opportunity to break that barrier.
