In their intense ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Group A match against india at the dubai International cricket Stadium on Sunday, pakistan, hindered by injuries to important players, fought through a tumultuous innings to reach 241 all out in 50 overs. Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan were left to salvage the innings as Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq, the injured Fakhar Zaman's replacement, returned to the pavilion early. pakistan was able to guarantee a competitive total on the board by spearheading the comeback.
Even though Abrar ahmed kept tight lines and Shubman Gill's dismissal might have turned the tide in Pakistan's favor, his fellow bowlers were unable to keep up the pressure. Pakistan's chances had been further harmed by a few missed catches. While shreyas iyer has turned his cautious start into a significant knock, virat kohli seems to be returning to his usual form after a long absence. pakistan seems to be in a tough spot and needs something remarkable to turn things around, especially considering India's batting depth up to the eighth place.
For india, 200 pops up. They have the best chance of winning this game. pakistan is at a severe disadvantage. Their chances of making it to the semifinals will be totally destroyed by today's loss, as they dropped their first game against new zealand in Karachi.
With 63 balls, shreyas iyer reaches his half-century. Whoa, that right-hander knocked. Iyer's 21st ODI fifty! Now, Virat and Iyer have a 101-run partnership.
