Dubai International Stadium: Virat Kohli’s sublime unbeaten century powered India to a commanding six-wicket victory over Pakistan in their Group A encounter at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. With this win, India became the first team to secure a spot in the semi-finals of the 2025 Champions Trophy.
Chasing 242 for victory, Shreyas Iyer played a patient yet commanding knock of 56, forming a crucial partnership with Virat Kohli to guide India home in 42.3 overs. With two consecutive defeats, Pakistan is on the brink of elimination from the tournament. A win for New Zealand against Bangladesh on Monday would officially end Pakistan’s campaign.
In the first innings, Kuldeep Yadav delivered an excellent performance at the back end, claiming 3-40, while Hardik Pandya bowled brilliantly to take 2-31. An impressive all-round bowling display helped India bundle out Pakistan for 241 in 49.4 overs.
