Champions Trophy: Kuldeep And Hardik Shine As India Bowl Out Pakistan For 241
Dubai International Stadium: Kuldeep Yadav shined in the back-end to take 3-40, while Hardik Pandya bowled brilliantly to pick 2-31 as an impressive bowling performance propelled India to bowl out Pakistan for 241 in 49.4 overs in the high-stakes 2025 Champions Trophy game at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday.
On a slow pitch, electing to bat first, Pakistan's batters got starts but couldn't score quickly, with a 104-run stand between Saud Shakeel (62) and Mohammad Rizwan (46) being the only prominent feature of their innings, though it came at a snail’s pace. From 151-2, Pakistan looked prime to go beyond 250, but India triggered a batting meltdown to bowl them out for 241.
Apart from Kuldeep and Hardik, Harshit Rana, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel took a wicket each, as India picked wickets in heaps, including in the middle overs, for the first time in the competition, though they gave away 17 extras.
