India Dominates Pakistan with Six-Wicket Win, Nears Champions Trophy Semifinals
India secured a commanding six-wicket victory over Pakistan in a one-sided ICC Champions Trophy 2025 encounter on Sunday, edging closer to a semifinal berth. Bowling first, India dismissed Pakistan for 241, with Saud Shakeel (62 off 76) and skipper Mohammad Rizwan (46 off 77) providing resistance. Kuldeep Yadav (3/40) and Hardik Pandya (2/31) led India’s disciplined bowling effort, with Pandya accounting for both Babar Azam (23) and Shakeel.
In the chase, Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 100 off 111 deliveries anchored India’s innings, while Shubman Gill (46) and Shreyas Iyer (56) provided crucial support. Captain Rohit Sharma (20 off 15) played an aggressive cameo before falling to Shaheen Afridi. India comfortably reached the target in 42.3 overs.
With back-to-back wins, India are on the brink of the semifinals, while Pakistan, having lost both group matches, face the risk of elimination. India’s next challenge will be against New Zealand on March 2. Stay tuned for further updates.
