In the 2025 Champions Trophy match between India and Pakistan, Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav’s efforts helped keep Pakistan’s score to 241 runs. Despite a solid 104-run partnership between Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan, India’s bowlers restricted Pakistan’s scoring. The match started with an injury scare for Mohammed Shami but India’s bowlers found their rhythm, with Pandya making a significant impact. Pakistan lost wickets in quick succession, unable to capitalize on a strong start. Kuldeep Yadav’s double-wicket over further dented Pakistan’s hopes, with Khushdil Shah’s late efforts not being enough. The defending champions will look to defend their total against a strong Indian batting lineup. Overall, India’s disciplined bowling performance was key in restricting Pakistan to a manageable total.
