India has defeated Pakistan by 124 runs as they put in a clinical performance. Pakistan could score only 164 runs while chasing 289 in a rain-truncated match.
Earlier, India batted in a mesmerising fashion as they scored massive 319 runs. Captain Virat Kohli, openers Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and middle order stalwarts Yuvraj Singh and Hardik Pandya scored some fascinating knocks as the Indian batsmen plundered the Pak bowlers.
Sporadic rains have hit Edgbaston throughout the match and Pakistan has been set a target of 289 runs in 41 overs as per Duckworth-Lewis method.
The match holds much importance as India has suspended cricketing ties with Pakistan several times following terrorist attacks or other hostilities between the two nations.
The cricketing rivalry between the two nations has always been exciting to watch and no matter in what form the other team is, an India-Pakistan cricket match is always a special one.
India have an all-win record against the arch-rivals in World Cups, but Pakistan hold an edge in the Champions Trophy. India have only managed to win once in their three meetings against them in the tournament.
