Right then, what a weekend in the Champions Trophy we have witnessed! We've seen two classic rivalries of world cricket reignited. Last time around, we saw Australia gun down a record total before India didn't make much fuss about a 240-odd chase, both against their arch-rivals. India's win has now propelled them to 4 points and the next game in Group A becomes almost decisive. Next up, Bangladesh take on New Zealand in Rawalpindi on Monday, 24 February. If the Black Caps win, we will get our two semifinalists from Group A but if the Bangla Tigers get the win, things will get very interesting. That game will begin at 9 am GMT (2.30 pm IST) but as usual, you can join us a lot sooner for the build-up. Till then, take care and goodbye!
The Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma says that he is happy with the way they started with the ball and it was a superb effort to restrict Pakistan to 241. Mentions that they had the experience to chase down the total. Lauds Axar, Kuldeep and Jadeja for the way they bowled in the middle phase. Adds that all three of them know what is required of them. States that it was a collective effort with the ball with the pacers also coming to the party. Shares that they have played a lot of cricket together and every individual knows his job. Feels that having 6 bowling options can be tricky but it is about knowing who is difficult for the batters to score off on the day.  Says that Virat Kohli loves representing the country and he did what he does best. When asked about his hamstring, Rohit replies that he is doing okay at the moment.
The captain of Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan says they didn't take benefit of winning the toss. Says their aim was to get past 270 but appreciates the Indian bowlers for bowling very well in the middle overs and chipping in with crucial wickets. Mentions that with him and Saud Shakeel settled well, they aimed to take the game deep and bat till the end. But accepts that their shot selection was not up to the mark and rues for this being the reason for them getting limited to 240. Appreciates Abrar Ahmed for bowling decently and for giving them a crucial wicket of Gill. He mentions improving in the fielding department is important. Also accepts that they made a lot of mistakes and is hopeful to work on them in the next game.
Virat Kohli is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his match-winning ton. Mentions that it feels good to be able to bat in that manner in a crucial game and contribute to the team's cause. Tells that his job was pretty clear and he had to be there to stitch a partnership after the kind of start they got. Adds that his job was to take the pacers on and keep turning the strike over against the spinners. Shares that he is happy with the template of his innings. States that he has a decent understanding of his game over the years. Says that it is important for him to keep the outside noise and distractions away and focus on the job at hand. Reckons that in ODI cricket, clarity is very important and you should play your shots against the pacers or else the spinners will come and mount more pressure on you. Appreciates Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill for the way they have been batting at the top of the order and setting a platform for the middle order. When asked if a week off is a good or bad thing, he jokingly says that for him at the age of 36, it is a good thing and these conditions take a lot out of him.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Mohammad Rizwan didn't have much hesitation in batting first and it seemed like even Rohit Sharma would have chosen the same. Pakistan began in a much better fashion than their previous game but lost both their openers in a jiffy inside the Powerplay. Mohammad Rizwan had to rebuild the innings along with Saud Shakeel but the duo took a fair bit of time to get going. Shakeel did look in fine touch and Rizwan also managed to capitalize later on but again, they lost both set batters which ended up hurting them quite a bit and they hobbled their way to 241 runs. For India, Hardik Pandya was the pick of the seamers but the others bowled really well and Kuldeep Yadav was able to rip through the middle order at the right moment for his side.
Things got a bit dramatic towards the end of the chase as Iyer departed after his 50 and Hardik Pandya came in and went back quickly. India had the job done but one thing was still remaining. Kohli broke quite a few records in this game as he not only went past 14,000 ODI runs but then became the third-highest ever run-getter in men's international cricket behind the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara and to top it all off, he hit the winning runs and brought up ODI ton number 51.
Pakistan had to attack from the get-go as they didn't have too many runs on the board and it was Shaheen Afridi who went searching for the wickets. However, he was a bit too full and put away for boundaries before coming back strongly and getting rid of the Indian skipper. Apart from that, the pacers didn't conjure up many opportunities and it was the leg spinner, Abrar Ahmed who bowled a lovely spell and probably bowled the ball of the tournament thus far, knocking over Gill. The pacers though were certainly off color, especially Shaheen even after picking up a couple of wickets whereas Haris Rauf bowled decently and Khushdil Shah got a wicket as well.
242 wasn't a big score to chase down but India did hobble a bit last time around chasing just under 230 against Bangladesh. However, the surface in this game held together well and wasn't nearly as slow as that one. Rohit Sharma yet again provided a quick start but soon perished after which Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli stitched together a solid stand. Gill failed to reach yet another half-century as he was undone by a ripper of a delivery. Kohli though took on the mantle and kept the tempo up. He had Shreyas Iyer for company but he started slow. They did manage to get through a phase of some tight bowling and then both batters just went after the bowlers.
INDIA HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE SEMIS! India have grabbed the bragging rights in this arch-rivalry and have now made it three-a-piece in head-to-head games against Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy. Pakistan meanwhile have been pushed to the brink and the reigning champions are in serious danger of bowing out even before their final group game.

THE KING HAS ADDED ANOTHER JEWEL TO HIS CROWN! AN UNBEATEN HUNDRED FOR VIRAT KOHLI! 51st ODI century for him, his 4th against Pakistan and overall hundred number 82, across formats in international cricket for one of the modern-day greats of the sport! Couldn't be a more picture-perfect run chase for India! Shah bowls it on a nagging length, and the line is outside off, Virat Kohli steps down to the pitch of the ball and slaps it past covers for a boundary. Takes off the helmet, raises his bat skywards, and soaks in all the acknowledgment from the crowd in Dubai. The Indian dressing room erupts in joy with captain Rohit Sharma admiring Kohli's knock with a satisfying broad smile on his face. INDIA WIN BY 6 WICKETS IN HAND AND 7 OVERS LEFT!

Salman Agha To Virat Kohli
An appeal for LBW, but not given. Rizwan has a detailed chat with the bowler and opts to go upstairs. Agha bowls it quick and flat, drifting towards the leg stump line, on a fuller length. Virat Kohli sits down to play the sweep shot but the ball passes really close to the inside edge before clipping the pad. UltraEdge shows a spike on the inside edge as the ball runs down to the fine leg region. A single taken.
Review! Salman Agha was pretty sure that he got his man here but the umpire turned down the appeal for LBW. Mohammad Rizwan isn't highly convinced either but does review it. Virat Kohli is the man in question and UltraEdge shows a faint inside edge. NOT OUT it remains.

DRINKS BREAK! Well then, time for the final hydration break of the match and India are completely in command at the moment. The wicket of Shubman Gill should have given some momentum to Pakistan and Abrar Ahmed kept things tight but the other bowlers failed to back him up and a couple of dropped catches have only added to their misery. Virat Kohli has seemed his old self after a long while and Shreyas Iyer has managed to take a watchful start and convert it into an inning of substance. With India having proper batters till number 8, things seem out of Pakistan's reach for now and they really need a miracle.

OUT! BOWLED'EM! How's he pulled that off? Abrar Ahmed with a bamboozling delivery that has taken everyone by surprise. Abrar tosses this one up at around 88 clicks and drifts it on a nagging length onto middle and leg. Shubman Gill presses back and looks to play down the line off the back foot but the ball grips and rips away past the outside edge and knocks over the top of off. It needed a special delivery to get rid of Gill and he now departs for 46 (52). Can Pakistan now build on this?

Good length on middle, skidding on, Gill rocks right back and works it around the corner for one. The 100 is also up for India.
DRINKS. Well, boundaries have dried up since the last four overs, but the momentum still remains with India as Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill both have adjusted to milk singles. Pakistan need wickets, that too, in clusters to turn the tide. Spin has been deployed in tandem, but it has been dealt with some ease by the two. This partnership has grown to 68 runs off just 72 balls, so the pace of scoring has been decent so far. Pakistan desperately need to break this partnership as it just might open the gates for them. In the meanwhile, Shubman Gill called up the physio and was helped with some stretching exercises during the break. All good to continue now. Abrar Ahmed to resume with the ball.

Quick and flat around off, this one almost darts back in, Virat Kohli rocks back to jam it out but is a bit late on it and the ball goes to covers. There is a stifled appeal for LBW but no one is really sure about it and Mohammad Rizwan doesn't review it either.

Haris Rauf To Shubman Gill
Nicely timed but the fielder did seem to get a hand on it. Just back of a length and angled into the body, tucked away neatly and to the right of mid-wicket where the fielder dives but can't stop it. The other fielder from mid on gives chase and pulls it back in. Three taken.

Haris Rauf To Virat Kohli
FOUR! What a classy shot from Virat Kohli to bring up 14,000 ODI runs, surreal from the King. Pitched up around off, not all that full but Kohli prods forward a bit and just plays that high-elbow cover drive, wide of extra cover and mid off for a boundary. Kohli becomes the quickest in terms of innings taken to reach this landmark.

Haris Rauf To Virat Kohli
A fine shot on the up but tidied up by Saud Shakeel in the deep! On a hard length and well outside off, Kohli reaches across and punches the drive sweetly and wide of sweeper covers for a couple of runs.

Haris Rauf To Shubman Gill
DROPPED! What a chance to dismiss the in-form batter but Khushdil Shah has shelled it! Just short of a good length and over middle, Shubman Gill looks to play that favored short-arm pull but hits it flat and straight at short mid-wicket. Shah gets low and looks to grab it over his head but it comes quickly and pops right out of the hands. Rauf isn't pleased and understandably so.
10.3

Haris Rauf To Virat Kohli
In the air but doesn't carry! Rauf hits the deck hard and bowls it outside off with some good pace as well. The ball angles away but Virat Kohli looks to swing across the line and ends up getting a top edge that falls short of the incoming fielder, Naseem Shah at deep third. Single taken.

Haris Rauf To Virat Kohli
Begins back of a length from over the stumps and bowls it around middle, Kohli gets up on his toes and pushes it down to wide mid on.
Powerplay 2! A barrage of boundaries in the first 10 overs then but the field can now spread as some of the fielding restrictions are now lifted. A maximum of four fielders are now allowed to be stationed outside the inner ring till the 40th over. So, the first change in bowling. Haris Rauf is into the attack. He had some animated chat with the umpire, not quite sure about what. But looks good to start off now.

Gets it off the inner half of the bat in front of deep backward square leg. Gill is a bit late to set off for the second run but eventually decides to do so. The throw comes in from the deep but there is no one behind the stumps to collect the throw at the bowling end and Gill makes it in with a stretch.

Shaheen Afridi To Rohit Sharma OUT!
OUT! BOWLED'EM! Finally, Shaheen gets this one right and Rohit's nemesis comes back to haunt him! A proper inswinging toe-crushing yorker, tailing in late on middle and leg. Rohit Sharma is a bit late to jam his bat down in time and the ball just shoots towards the stumps in a blink. Rohit Sharma departs on 20 (15) and India are 31/1. Excellent pace variation from Shaheen, as he bowled a pace-off delivery in the last ball, but cannoned this one right through the gates.
