India beat Pakistan by six wickets in match 5 of the 2025 Champions Trophy

India registered a thumping six-wicket win against Pakistan in the fifth match of the Champions Trophy on Sunday in Dubai. Virat Kohli (100*), Shubman Gill (46), and Shreyas Iyer (56) performed well in the batting department and ensured that there were no hiccups in the chase of 242 in the contest.

Earlier, Pakistan could only score 241 runs before getting all out in 49.4 overs. All the batters except Saud Shakeel (62), Mohammad Rizwan (46), and Khushdil Shah (38) struggled to get going against a quality Indian bowling attack, which derailed their innings.

Reflecting on the loss at the post-match presentation, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan said:

"We won the toss but we didn't get the benefit of it. Yesterday we decided that 280 was enough on that pitch and that's how we started. But they bowled very well and kept us quiet. Me and Saud took time, we wanted to bat deep. But you can say it was a poor shot selection at the time. They bowled very well and put us under pressure. That's why we were restricted to 240 (241)."

Virat Kohli received the Player of the Match award for his match-winning batting performance in the chase.
