India (244/4) comprehensively defeat Pakistan (241) by 6 wickets in their group-stage encounter of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[jnaveen1980]

Doing much better than the main bowlers lol

Mostly because Indian batsmen are not making the most of it with intent.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Less than 100 runs needed now.

96 to be precise

 

[Red-Indian]

Honestly this match is yawn inducing bore-fest

It's such a dull game. Sure it's India-Pakistan but there's no jazba, no junoon

 

[gani999]

Shreyas could fit right into the Pakistani batting lineup.

Iyer is doing what is necessary here. India is well above the RRR. He need not take any risks.

It is not a pyjama league and about hitting sixes in every ball.

 

[cricfan1992]

Mostly because Indian batsmen are not making the most of it with intent.

Why are they targeting the better bowlers and not him tho

 

[Bhaijaan]

Virat pulls one for a couple more. Moves on to 62*

94 to win

 

[jnaveen1980]

All said and done chunk of the blame has to be attached to batsmen.

 

[baba ghazi]

throw these rubbush pacers out.. get spin from both ends..

 

[Devadwal]

Shaheen ko sara ho hawua nikal diya

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lovely timing. Could have been a four in Bharat Pakistan.

10 off the over

 

[m.shah]

SSa already gone for 50 in his 6th over.
He don't bowl with any plan. Just comes and bowl full delivery and hoping it will hit wickets.
Akif, Jahandad Khan are better bowlers than him.
Junaid Khan was better bowler than him .

 

[Asif321]

Worst CT for Pakistan second to CT 13 under Misbah

 

[aqua99]

150 comes up for india

SSA 6-0-53-1

 

[Shafi]

Why we always have our best players got injured instead of useless idiots like Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Shaheen koi Wasim Akram nahi hae

 

[Usman Chadda]

Worst CT for Pakistan second to CT 13 under Misbah

To be honest we are not a good enough team to compete despite losing two of our best players.

Saim and Fakhar getting injured essentially crippled the team.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Reverse sweep for

 

[FearlessRoar]

As Shoaib Akhtar said if you want to wake up Virat Kohli just tell him it's a match against Pakistan and he'll be ready

 

[Ijaz Ahmed07]

Kohli just loves batting vs Pakistan no matter the form, it's like a tired father who somehow summons the strength to teach his son lessons.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Iyer usually murders spinners. Today he is being conservartive. I think he has been told to spend time apparently.

 

[Asad T]

Why we always have our best players got injured instead of useless idiots like Babar, Rizwan and Shaheen?

because its the best ones who have been exerting themselves physically
unlike the dudds in the team

 

[Bhaijaan]

Another



Runs flowing for Bharat in this little passage of play

 

[m.shah]

When was the last time Pakistan beat India in 50 over match.?

 

[cricfan1992]

Game over Home team out of the tournament already

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan couldn’t defend the title at home. Thanks Rizwan and Aqib . A total tragedy

 

[mango_bite77]

Why is Agha not bowling ?

 

[Major]

dropped

 

[Bhaijaan]

Is the game drifting away from Pakistan?

They desperately need couple of wickets now

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped?

 

[mango_bite77]

Dropped

 

[leonidas_alexandar]

My American wife's expert inputs during the match - she has no idea about cricket -

1) Pakistan's jersey makes sense - it matches their flag's color. Your team's jersey does not make sense to me. Why is it blue?

2) Why is there a white dude playing for Pakistan? I am like - who????

My wife thinks Shaheen Shah Afridi could pass of as a regular White dude here in the US.

3) Those are some pretty women (referring to some Pakistani women in the stands).....

4) Why don't you wear your Indian jersey anymore? Do you not fit into it anymore?

THE - QUESTIONS - NEVER - STOP.......

 

[Asif321]

To be honest we are not a good enough team to compete despite losing two of our best players.

Saim and Fakhar getting injured essentially crippled the team.

And your snail paced innings by fearless Captain and king doesn’t help either .

 

[BDfanforever]

Chalo IND two prong KO East and West Pakistan.

 

[m.shah]

Another drop by 4 feet timid player

 

[Bhaijaan]

Another dropped catch

Not an easy one, but you have got to take those to win the match

 

[mango_bite77]

3 feet man standing to stop pull
shot.

 

[Hellion]

Not a drop. He barely got to the ball. Too short.

 

[kingusama92]

This team is so mediocre.

Shouldn't even play the third match.

 

[Rana]

someone needs to send a security threat email to Jacinda Arden. Only chance left for Pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think Iyer is becoming aggressive.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Chalo IND two prong KO East and West Pakistan.

Pakistan bhai hae apna.

 

[mango_bite77]

Another drop by 4 feet timid player

3*

 

[gani999]

Dropped again. Iyer this time.

 

[Rana]

Monster six

 

[Bhaijaan]

Salman Agha comes in to break partnership.

Will Shreyas take the bait

 

[baba ghazi]

20

When was the last time Pakistan beat India in 50 over match.?

2017 champions trophy final i think..

 

[JaDed]

This is why we still need Virat bhai in the ODI team.

I am taking Virat bhai to 2027 CWC.

Who is with me?

We dont need him, Pakistan hardly reaches the KO of tournaments and this guy only performs against them.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Shameful performance as predicted

 

[LegendAli]

Dropped again. Iyer this time.

You're 5 minutes late lol.

 

[Devadwal]

@Rana here is iyer hitting. Now you'll see the real iyer

 

[Bhaijaan]

Salman Agha comes in to break partnership.

Will Shreyas take the bait

Hits a gigantic six

He did take all the bait

Bhai ye jab maarta hae bade bade hi marta hae

 

[m.shah]

You need wickets and you brought part timer into the attack. Great captaincy by actor

 

[jnaveen1980]

Iyer hit 111 meter against zampa at the SCG once.

 

[JaDed]

Loi is all about momentum. If you don't take your chances the right moment you loose.

It’s not “all” about momentum.. good teams break momentum of weaker teams.

 

[Asif321]

you can’t beat Nz in your backyard and you can’t beat India in your second home . How pathetic .

 

[baba ghazi]

aqib and selectors must be fired..what rubbish team they have dished out ..

 

[Bhaijaan]

Iyer hit 111 meter against zampa at the SCG once.

He hits them long and hard

 

[Nikhil_cric]

someone needs to send a security threat email to Jacinda Arden. Only chance left for Pakistan

If BD and India beat NZ, PAK still have a chance

 

[Usman Chadda]

And your snail paced innings by fearless Captain and king doesn’t help either .

They will never amount to anything, its about time we move away from these stat-padders.

There should be an introspection into our cricket in general, the lack of intent is being exposed in literally every match.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Iyer cuts that one with ease

 

[Asif321]

aqib and selectors must be fired..what rubbish team they have dished out ..

Aqib couldn’t make his style of pitches in CT hence failed . Pakistan let go off Kirsten and Gillespie for this crap

 

[Usman Chadda]

If BD and India beat NZ, PAK still have a chance

NZ will beat India I believe.

They are the best team in this tournament hands down.

 

[JaDed]

Worst CT for Pakistan second to CT 13 under Misbah

That is probably worse coz PCT was considered favourite there, they were only considered favs here because of being hosts.

 

[Greenstorm]

Bring back Abrar

 

[m.shah]

What a trash bowling by Khushdil

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Why did that PAK fielder dive over the ball for a ground shot by Iyer?

 

[Bhaijaan]

70 to win now

Last few overs, lot of runs made. This is getting over quickly if Iyer stays there for half an hour

 

[BDfanforever]

In T20 you could still win with 1% win chance...not so much in ODIs.

 

[Ted123]

A mediocre Iyer is enough to show Pakistan its standing in world cricket.

 

[Red-Indian]

This match looks like it's done to be honest. The Pakistan team's all plucked and cooked. Just needs to be garnished and served

 

[FearlessRoar]

Seriously? Khushdil bowling 6 overs? They deserve to lose

 

[aqua99]

NZ will beat India I believe.

They are the best team in this tournament hands down.

That decisively puts Pak out of CT

 

[Bhaijaan]

Iyer wants to get out. Playing like a Gambler

 

[Usman Chadda]

That is probably worse coz PCT was considered favourite there, they were only considered favs here because of being hosts.

How on earth were we favorites after losing the only two batters our whole line-up hides behind?

Look at this batting line-up, this was expected to win the tournament?

Not one batsman can strike above 100 besides Salman Ali Agha.

 

[jnaveen1980]

@Rana here is iyer hitting. Now you'll see the real iyer

A slow innings by Iyer is an aberration not the norm. He plays even tests aggressively.

 

[Rajdeep]

Pakistan should have opted to bowl first here. The 2 matches they won against India since 2017 CT were chasing and both in this venue. Setting a total is tricky on this ground.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistanis will be praying Bangladesh and Bharat beat NZ

 

[jnaveen1980]

Abrar is their best bet

 

[Nikhil_cric]

NZ will beat India I believe.

They are the best team in this tournament hands down.

Easily. But I meant , mathenatically speaking , PAK aren't out yet.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Partnership 75 (87)
