5 most glorious team comebacks in cricket

#4. Pakistan win the Champions Trophy 2017

From bottom to the top, Pakistan in 2017

They lost the first game by a massive margin against arch-rivals India, faced several injury concerns and were branded as old-fashioned in modern cricket.

But Sarfaraz Khan's Pakistan fought back. They fought back in style and fought back banking on their strengths. Their bowlers choked South Africa and Pakistan won their first game in the tournament.

In a virtual-eliminator against Sri Lanka, luck favored the Pakistanis as Sri Lanka dropped catches at crucial moments, bowled loose deliveries in a tense situation and allowed Pakistan to walk away with the game. Also, crucial was Sarfaraz Ahmed's captain's knock kept things steady during the chaos.

In the semi-finals Pakistan met the favourites, the home team England. Known for their batting might, England was expected to pile up a massive score but they too were tied up by the inspired bowling performances. A thumping victory by eight wickets took the men in green to the finals to lock horns against India, a contest loved by the fans, administrators, organizers, and promoters.

In what panned out as an anticlimax, Fakhar Zaman, the new recruit, hit a century that took Pakistan beyond 300 and then Mohammad Amir's sensational swing bowling routed India's famed top order to seal the result.

A massive win in the finals allowed Pakistan to win an ICC title after an eternity. A team that was stamped as good for nothing produced match-winners at every stage and shocked the world.
