The arch-rivals, India and Pakistan took on each other in the high-octane clash in the fifth game of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Men in Blue outplayed Pakistan by a big 6-wicket margin to register their second consecutive win in the tournament. With this win, India have moved to the top spot in the Group A points table and have strengthened their chances for qualifying into the semi-finals of the tournament.
Indian bowlers bundled out Pakistan at the score of 241 runs in 49.4 overs in the first innings followed by India’s comfortable run chase in just 42.3 overs, scoring 244 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. Later in the second innings, Pakistan bowlers were completely outclassed by the Indian batting attack led by the former India skipper and the modern-day batting great, Virat Kohli.
With that said, here we’ll look at the top 3 bowlers in the India vs Pakistan clash, the fifth game of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
