India dominated Pakistan with a six-wicket win in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, moving closer to the semifinals. Virat Kohli shone with an unbeaten 100 off 111 balls, leading India to a successful chase of 242 runs.
With two wins in two matches, Rohit Sharma’s team tops Group A and will face New Zealand in their final group-stage match on Sunday, March 2, in Dubai.
If New Zealand beats Bangladesh on Monday, both India and New Zealand will qualify for the semifinals before their clash.
Pakistan’s semifinal hopes are fading—they must defeat Bangladesh by a huge margin and hope New Zealand loses both remaining games to stay in contention.
