In a thrilling ICC Champions Trophy group stage encounter, India secured a dominant 6-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan, successfully chasing down the target of 242 with 45 balls to spare. The match was headlined by a masterclass from Virat Kohli, who delivered a sensational unbeaten century (100* off 111 balls), anchoring India’s run chase. Shreyas Iyer provided solid support with a quickfire 56 off 67 balls, ensuring India’s smooth path to victory.
Pakistan, after being put to bat first, managed to post a total of 241 in 49.4 overs, with Saud Shakeel (62 off 76), Mohammad Rizwan (46 off 77), and Khushdil Shah (38 off 39) contributing valuable runs. However, India’s bowlers, led by Kuldeep Yadav (3/40) and Hardik Pandya (2/31), restricted Pakistan from posting a formidable total. In response, India dominated with the bat, and despite early wickets, Kohli’s resilience and class guided them home. His century not only earned him the Player of the Match award but also reinforced his reputation as one of the greatest chasers in ODI history.
