India’s Dominant Victory Over Pakistan in Champions Trophy

On February 23, 2025, during the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai, India achieved a decisive six-wicket victory over Pakistan. Pakistan, opting to bat first, posted a total of 241 runs, with notable contributions from Saud Shakeel (62) and captain Mohammad Rizwan (46). India’s bowling attack, led by Kuldeep Yadav (3-40) and Hardik Pandya (2-31), effectively restricted Pakistan’s lineup. In response, India successfully chased down the target in 42.3 overs, propelled by Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 100* and Shreyas Iyer’s 56. This victory not only marked India’s second consecutive win in Group A but also brought them closer to securing a semi-final spot, while Pakistan’s chances of advancing have significantly diminished.
