Ind vs Pak CT2025 clash

Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and elected to bat first against Team India. However, this decision did not turn out well for the Men in Green as they managed to put just 241 runs on board. Saud Shakeel was the only batter today, who scored a half-century in the game.

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma-led Indian side outshined in the bowling faction and all the bowlers except for Mohammad Shami took wickets in the game. This is India and Pakistan's sixth encounter in the Champions Trophy's history. In the previous five games, Pakistan won on 3 occasions while India clinched the match two times.
