What all happened is simply a moment of celebration for Team India, to mark a debut in the astounding Champions Trophy 2017 against Pakistan and winning at such a grand margin is unforgettable. Both the bowlers and batsmen did their best against Pakistan leaving no space to give runs. Indian batsman altogether managed, to sum up, the total to 319 runs within 48 overs losing 3 wickets.
Rohit Sharma top-scored for India with a steady 91 off 119 balls while Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, and Yuvraj Singh scored quick-fire fifties. Now, Pakistan needs to bat out of their skins as their target has been revised to 324. In spite of both the teams scheduled to bat for 48 overs, Pakistan’s target will be 324, five more than India’s actual total of 319 within the same number of overs.
However, Pakistan didn’t stand for too long, the players turned back to pavilion one by one merely grabbing 50 runs for the team. It earlier appeared that it was the game of Indian batsman that withheld the charm of the game, but bowlers didn’t leave a stone unturned resulting Pakistan to head home at mere 164 losing all the wickets.
