Trounces India ... Champion's Trophy to Pakistan!
Pakistan who competed for the Champion's Trophy 2017 with India in the Finals today at the Oval in England claimed a memorable win.
India having won the toss and decided to field and thus with Pakistan batting first at the end of the 50 overs scored 338 and India who pursued that large total messed up right at the start itself and was able to collect only 158 runs being bowled out in 30.3 overs. On behalf of
Pakistan, Fakar Saman scored 114, Azar Ali 59 while Mohommed Hafeez remained unbeaten and only 4 wickets collapsed in their total of 338. Apart from the 76 runs collected by Pandya in the Indian innings no other player was successful. Sharma was out for a duck, Dhoni for 4 and Kohli was dismissed for a paltry 5 runs which incidentally became a special feature. Among Pakistan bowlers Mohommed Amir and Hassan Ali bagged 3 scalps while Shahab Kahn too displayed his skills with the ball.
In the face of the difficult situation the Indian team was placed in, spectators were seen leaving their seats at the Oval from the time 6 wickets had collapsed, it was reported. The Indian team were the champions of the previous Champion's Trophy and it was for the first time Pakistan clinched this trophy.
