LAHORE – All those who had earlier slammed Pakistani cricket team after losing a match against India in Champions Trophy 2017 and who had lost hope about final seem to be stunned after Pakistan’s victory came out of the blue.
Pakistan thrashed favourites India by 180 runs in a thrilling competition at London’s Oval ground to clinch their first ever Champions Trophy title on Sunday. The green shirts set up a daunting 339-run target for the men in blue, but Indian batting collapsed under a calculated bowling attack, all out at 158 runs in the 31st over.
Twitteratis have extended congratulations to the national team over their great victory.
