Looks like Pakistan are more than a handful for India, including pressure situations. Is the rivalry brought back to life?

Read this on that site, sums it up "If the 2017 Champions Trophy were to have had another two games, Pakistan might be scoring 750 and bowling teams out for negative 12 by the end of it."

Funny isn't it? It's like they don't realise there is such a thing as memory or the ability to look post histories.

Definitely. Beating India in a big final will clear any mental baggage from the last few years, and not only does this team have some ability to repeat that performance, they have a tougher mental attitude and hunger which is half the battle. This was no fluke, Pakistan beat South Africa and England convincingly on the way to the final.
Shame we won't see any more India/Pakistan games for a while, but at least we go out on a win.

Not really. Good win and all that, but we go back to status quo: no more games between the two teams till the next ICC event, whenever it is.

Oh yes.
You will still see Indian fans being supremely confident in Global events, but some of the arrogance in the media and from ex-cricketers will have been whittled away.

I hope this win also cans all conspiracy theories that stated that exterior forces were making Pakistan lose to India.
It's a simple game. The team that plays better, wins.

I doubt it. The Indians have made our encounters more than just about sport. Meaning they've made it political. Until they get rid of that nationalism I am content with not playing them in bilaterals and only playing them in ICC events.
Pakistan have been beating India - only a few years ago they beat India in India in a 50-over series when they still played bilateral series. But the infrequent nature of these matches has taken most of the gloss off the "rivalry". Two very one-sided games in this tournament is unlikely to change that.

This was my hope also, that is why a Pakistan win was so necessary, to put to bed those theories which have been kicking around far too long.
Thankfully yes .. Maybe this will BCCI enough to initiate a bilateral revenge series..
no, I don't want that. Because then both boards get greedy and we start playing 5 ODI series every year and in between tournaments.
Only thing we are missing is few tests.

India be Pakistan rivalry never went anywhere.. Who said the rivalry was lost??? Rivalry would always be there anyone who says otherwise is just deluded.. Having said that this doesn't change the fact that we won't face each other unless in ICC tournaments so rivalry is very very limited now..

So here you are. It's all merit based after all.
Its certainly a psychological hurdle overcome for Pakistan.
However the rivalry won't return to the 90s/00s era level without the restoration of bilateral series which sadly is unlikely to occur without a thaw in relations between the two governments.

A good wake up call actually. Hopefully Dhoni and Yuvi call it a day, so we can prep for the WC in 2019.

I don't think so tbh. It would be though if Pakistan can rise from here and become one of the forces of international cricket again to the point that these games will be anticipated more. At this point, the rivalry is only surviving on its political history rather than the on-field competition.

If this was a one off win you could say that, but winning big against the two best ODI teams in the world would suggest that Pakistan is indeed poised to rejoin the ranks of the big guns. If you watched the interviews of all the ex-England pros after the game most of them seemed to think we have the basis of a very exciting team right now. India avoiding games is the real barrier to the rivalry at this point.

If they do, that would only be good for cricket. Pakistan needs players of the stature of Wasim, Waqar and Shoaib again.

What does rival thing needs is a TEST series. Thats much needed.
We missed a lot in example no test series betweem pak and india in 2015 for example.
That would have been some battle.

they are still the best in business... one bad game doesnt mean that they should end it... even rohit, kohli and dhawan couldnt do anything much though all three scored nearly 300 runs each in this tournament...Yuvi was th e reason india defeat pak in the 1st game..

@ask analyse bro
Yuvi is a done deal bro. Hope his catch was not dropped that day. He has been a great inspiration for many I am sure, but every day has it's dawn. Why stick with him with so many talent in the waiting room!? Tike to move on I guess.

Well India is not going to play us in bilaterals. I suspect the next time we play them will be in the 2019 world cup. Things can change a lot till then.

Not sure if that will sit well with Indians, us having supreme bragging rights until then
It was always there. The final was expected to be one sided with a different winner - still this is comfortably the highest viewed cricket event ever.
I wrote it long back that one of the main reasons of declining PAK team is lack of series against IND, who always brings the best out of PAK. Not that players suddenly starts to improve their game, but rather they get rid of lots of baggage that associated with PAK team. A 3 months tour to IND of 5 Test, 7 ODI can shape PAK cricket more than anything else.
Also, IND-PAK series keeps PCB honest - they do know that general people live with short memories. PCB people could get away with 8th/9th rank, but they'll be out of job soon, if PAK consistently gets hammered by IND.
I am sure still a performing PAK team is the most desired opponent in IND as well - though recent time Indians try to down play PAK with IND-AUS series, but it's not even a contest, never was.

I hope the rivalry is reignited. Cricket needs I dia and Pakistan to play bilaterals... I just hope Indian government clears the series.
It is sad that Pakistan's two upcoming series' this year are going yo get cancelled, one against Bangladesh and one against India, this leaves Pakistan with very less cricket for the rest of the year.
PCB should also consider playing against BAN in the UAE rather than spoiling relationship with them by forcing them to come to Pakistan. BAN are a much better side now.

Next Pakistan will be defending their title in 2021 in that so in India well no big mouth but if Pak wins that will be icing on the cake.
Agreed
On the Iftar transmission today, Afridi even explained it saying that the modern Indian players now compare themselves to Australians and South Africans. That's who they measure themselves against
I don't know if the Indian public feels the same way, but it really feels the players have moved on from the historic rivalry for the most part
The rivalry never died in the first place seeing we hardly play each other any more. It is fine if India don't want to play coz with the situation at LOC and IoK I don't want to play them either outside ICC tournaments. We must never compromise our dignity or historical stance over a game of Cricket.

Don't think so, this may be last CT.
ICC is planning to scrap CT, planning to have T20 WC instead.
Well, in earlier days, India's victories over Pak used to come from spirited performances by a few, like you did today. But that was never a sustainable model for our country !
The constant comparison to Aus and our players trying to follow their player's style made us a more consistently successful team in the past decade and brought about a wholesome change in our style. You can't ASPIRE to play the "Pakistani way", that just happens for you guys. We used to be the worst fielding side in Asia, yet now we are almost the best, that would never have come if we were only competing with Pakistani or Sri Lankan teams .
Since 2009 12 ODI matches were played, Pak won 5 and India 7. People here make it seem like Pak never won a game against India since last decade. I am sure Pak record against England and Australia since 2009 is worst.
That 5/6 years under Misbah & Azhar cost PAK big time. It's not about result (W/L) only, which is clearly evident in free fall of ranking, but bigger damage was the reputation of the team. From the most exciting team, in that period, PAK actually was the most boring team - not worthy of watching for the neutrals. Compared to last 4 matches, if I take wins like the one at MCG, or Sharjah (ENG) - it was like a day laborer's job - breaking bricks with mallets. Despite 1/10 market size, in 70s to 90s, PAK traveled to AUS at least twice than IND simply because of difference of the brand of cricket between the 2 sides then. Compared to that, what Misbah & Azhar did to the team was almost suicidal - it's like a group of people forced to act against their norms, rituals, culture, heritage & religion. I wish, I'll never see a spinner opening for PAK ever - just one example.
I am looking at some losses against India since 2009 and it's pathetic how slow top order used to bat even when chasing 300. Even when target was 250 top order played like a test match and then waited for Afridi to play a blinder which only happened once in Asia cup 2014.
Culprits were Hafeez, Misbha, Younis, Shezad and Azhar Ali. More then anything it was mindset of Misbha, rest kept their places in team just by playing like him with low SR.

The biggest change will come through PAK's mindset.
The team won't be going into the next encounter (whenever it is) doubting themselves or under unnecessary pressure.

That just suggests a colonised mindset and inferiority complex. When Australia or England were going through bad stages in their history with poor teams did they ever disregard the Ashes or try to downplay it? If anything the losers fretted about it more and the victors revelled in their stature, they didn't run away from it and look to downgrade their traditional rivalry.
