Imran Khan (CWC 1987), Shahid Afridi (CWC 2011) and now Hasan Ali are the only Pakistan bowlers to take three or more wickets in four matches in an ICC tournament.

On Sunday, Pakistan scored its biggest win over India (180 runs) in ODI cricket while India scored its biggest ever win over Pakistan in field hockey (7-1)!

Hasan Ali took 13 wickets in this edition of ICC Champions Trophy, the joint most in a single tournament. Jerome Taylor (West Indies) also took 13 in 2006.

Pakistan were the only team to introduce any debutants in this competitions. Not one – but three! And they ended up winning.

The 180-run win for Pakistan is their highest winning margin over India in ODI cricket. The previous highest was by 159 runs at Delhi in 2005.

Shadab Khan, now the youngest player to feature in a Champions Trophy final, took the wicket of previous youngest player in a Champions Trophy final - Yuvraj Singh.

Pakistan blasted nine sixes; the most by any team in a final in ICC Champions Trophy history.

Pakistan’s 338/4 is the second-highest total in ICC tournament finals after Australia’s 359/2 against India in the final of the 2007 Cricket World Cup.

Fakhar Zaman is the third player to score his maiden ODI century in an ICC event final after Clive Lloyd and Philo Wallace. Neither Lloyd or Wallace scored another!
 
Amazing stuff! What a tournament for Pakistan!
 
- Lowest Ranked Team (8th) winning the trophy, that is new too, I don't this has happened before either?
 
the 3 debutantes point is incredible (+Shadab who only had 3 ODIs before the CT) - no one else in the world would introduce even a single new player in a world event

somehow it worked out, but this is a major flaw. There was no planing 6 months out coming into this event

I dunno how they pull off stuff like this
 
Some amazing stats for Pakistan bowlers in Champions Trophy - Just unable to repeat their performances after that - by and large.
