ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Updated points table after match 5, PAK vs IND

India recorded their second consecutive win in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India defeated Pakistan on Sunday in Dubai to inch closer to the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and elected to bat first. Pakistan struggled for momentum throughout their innings. While Saud Shakeel scored 62 runs off 76 balls, Rizwan’s knock of 46 off 77 was horrible. This meant fewer deliveries to play for the likes of Salman Agha, an excellent player of spin, and more pressure on the other batters.

Eventually, Pakistan were bowled out for 241. Kuldeep Yadav took three wickets, Hardik Pandya took two wickets, while Axar, Harshit and Jadeja claimed a wicket each.

In the chase, India lost Rohit Sharma in the fifth over but Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli survived the rest of the powerplay. While Gill got out for 46, Kohli was at his best and knocked off a breezy half-century. Kohli found an able partner in Shreyas Iyer, and their stand of 114 runs effectively killed off the game.

Kohli stood till the end and hit the winning shot, with which he raised his 51st ODI century as well.
