India has outclassed Pakistan by six wickets in their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match, with Virat Kohli slamming his 51st ODI ton to lead the team to a convincing victory. The Indian team chased down a target of 242 with ease, completing the task with 7.3 overs to spare, and has almost certainly sealed their qualification to the semi-finals of the tournament. Pakistan, on the other hand, is staring at elimination after their total of 241 proved to be too little against the strong Indian batting lineup.

The Indian batting performance was led by Kohli, who scored an unbeaten 100, while Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill contributed 56 and 46 runs respectively to the team's total. With the ball, Kuldeep Yadav was the star performer for India, picking up three wickets for 40 runs. The victory has extended India's unbeaten run against Pakistan in the ODI format since the 2017 Champions Trophy final, with the record now reading 6-0 in favor of the Indian team.

Mohammed Shami, the Indian pacer, gave the team management a scare during the match when he appeared to struggle with an ankle issue and was forced to leave the field. However, he later returned to the field and continued to bowl. Shami had a shaky start to the match, bowling five wides in the first over, and also set an unwanted record by bowling the longest over by an Indian in the Champions Trophy history. The over, which consisted of 11 deliveries, surpassed Jasprit Bumrah's nine-ball over against Pakistan in the 2017 Champions Trophy final.

The match began with Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan winning the toss and electing to bat against India. The Pakistani team made one change to their lineup, with Imam-ul-Haq replacing Fakhar Zaman, who was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury. India, on the other hand, retained the same lineup from their previous match against Bangladesh. The Indian team's victory has put them in a strong position in the tournament, and they will look to continue their winning streak in their upcoming matches.

Here are the match scores:

• India: 242/4 (Kohli 100*, Iyer 56, Gill 46)
• Pakistan: 241 (Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam)

The Indian team's performance was impressive, with batsmen and bowlers contributing to the team's victory. The team's strategy and planning paid off, and they were able to outclass the Pakistani team in all aspects of the game.
