A Memorable Showdown: India vs Pakistan Champions Trophy 2017 Final
The 2017 ICC Champions Trophy Final was an unforgettable match between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, held on June 18, 2017, at The Oval in London. This highly anticipated encounter captivated cricket fans worldwide and delivered a thrilling spectacle.
Key Moments
Fakhar Zaman’s Century: Fakhar Zaman’s aggressive batting was a turning point. His century, which included 12 fours and 3 sixes, was instrumental in setting a high target.
Mohammed Amir’s Spell: Amir’s spell (3 for 16 in 6 overs) broke the backbone of India’s batting lineup. His ability to swing the ball both ways and his pace were too much for the Indian batsmen to handle.
Hardik Pandya’s Resistance: Despite the early collapse, Hardik Pandya provided some resistance with a quickfire 76 off 43 balls. However, his efforts were not enough to steer India towards victory.
