The last time India faced Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy was in the final of the 2017 edition. Pakistan won the contest by 180 runs to clinch their maiden Champions Trophy title.

Batting first, Pakistan were powered by a brilliant century from Fakhar Zaman, who scored 114 off 106 balls, including 12 fours and three sixes. He stitched a 128-run opening stand with Azhar Ali, setting the foundation for Pakistan’s massive first-innings total.

Mohammad Hafeez played a quickfire knock of 57 off 37 balls, helping Pakistan reach 338 runs.

In the chase, India got off to a poor start, slipping to 33/3. Mohammad Amir starred for Pakistan, taking 3/16 in six overs, taking key wickets of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

The final blow to India’s hopes came in the 27th over when Hardik Pandya was run out after scoring 76 runs. India ultimately lost the game by 180 runs, with Fakhar being named Player of the Match for his century.
