Kohli Guides India To Comfortable Win Over Pakistan

Share

Virat Kohli hit a composed unbeaten century as India beat Pakistan by six wickets which put them on the cusp of reaching the Champions Trophy semi-finals and left their opponents on the brink of elimination.

Pakistan mustered a rather unthreatening total of 241 after they won the toss and batted first, lacking power, intent and belief against a disciplined India attack.

Saud Shakeel and Muhammad Rizwan top scored with 62 and 46 respectively, but they fashioned them off a rather ponderous 76 and 77 balls each.

Khushdil Shah boosted the total with a late cameo - whacking 38 off 39 balls - but Pakistan's total felt light at a ground where the average first-innings winning score in one-day internationals is 258.
