India Continue Invincible Run Against Pakistan, Make Arch-Rivals Bite The Dust In Champions Trophy
India beat Pakistan by a margin of 124 runs
The last time India won a match against Pakistan was in 2016 during the T20 World Cup. Now this year we have another win where Pakistan are left red-faced.

In a rain-curtailed match, India set a target of 324 in 48 overs. And while chasing the target, Pakistan were sloppy and couldn't reach the target as they succumbed for 164-9 within 34 overs.

The match was completely one way traffic as India dominated the game throughout. Firepower batting from Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya had already sealed the deal for the defending champions. We thought it would be a high-voltage clash but guess we shouldn't expect competition from our arch-rivals.
Pakistan chase time! 324 runs is the target to win! #INDvPAK
