The Men in Blue began a little cautiously, but their openers, Imam ul-Haq and Babar Azama, gave the neighboring country two early shocks. With their crucial 104-run partnership for the third wicket, Rizwan and Saud Shakeel were able to steady the ship after that. Shakeel lost out on a half-century (46) by just four runs, but the former scored a fifty (62). Pakistan then lost all of its momentum and quickly dropped a few of wickets.

However, in the latter stages of Pakistan’s innings, spin all-rounder Khushdil Shah gave the team the boost they needed with his rapid 38-run effort.

All-rounder Hardik Pandya took two wickets, while Kuldeep Yadav grabbed three, highlighting India’s bowling effort. In a joint bowling effort, Harshit, Axar, and Jadeja each took one wicket jointly.

However, by masterfully leading the run chase, Virat Kohli, the man of the moment, once again displayed his class. He regained his batting form and continued his run chase masterclass, while Shreyas Iyer, at the other end, attempted to pace the innings with a few strokes in the middle after milking runs for a spell in response to the situation’s demands. However, Imam-ul-Haq made a spectacular catch off Khushdil Shah’s ball shortly after the batter reached his fifty (56 runs off 67 balls), which led to his death. With a partnership of 114 runs, the two helped Team India gain control of the game.

Despite Shaheen Afridi’s subsequent strike of removing Hardik Pandya, it was too late to salvage the game. India eventually defeated Pakistan by six wickets thanks to a generous unbroken century from Virat Kohli (100* off 111 balls). The Men in Blue won the Champions Trophy 2025 for the second time as a consequence.
