India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score, IND vs PAK ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Virat Kohli went past 14,000 runs in ODI cricket in just 287 innings as Shubman Gill continued to bat like a man possessed beforeRohit Sharma was sent packing by Shaheen Shah Afridi in chase of 242 against Pakistan. After a quiet first over, the opening pair of Rohit and Gill hit a six and a flurry of boundaries to get India off the blocks quickly. But Shaheen Shah Afridi came back strongly to dismiss Rohit with a brilliant in-swinging yorker. Earlier, Kuldeep Yadav’s 3 for 40 and Hardik Pandya’s 2 for 31 helped India restrict Pakistan to a below-par score of 241 at the Dubai International Stadium. Kuldeep removed Salman Agha and Shaheen Shah Afridi in successive balls to hand India the initiative after Agha and Khushdil Shah looked to up the ante at the back end of the inning. This was after Axar Patel sent Mohammad Rizwan packing and broke the century-run third-wicket stand. To make matters worse for the hosts, Saud Shakeel and Tayyab Tahir followed their captain to the dressing room – courtesy of Pandya and Jadeja. After deciding to bat, the hosts lost Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq in quick succession in the first powerplay. Hardik drew first blood for India by removing Babar, shortly after Pakistan got off to a decent start. The wicket came at the right time for the Men in Blue after Men in Green decided to bat on a good wicket. Moments later, Imam-ul-Haq joined Babar in the dressing room, owing to a brilliant piece of fielding by Axar Patel. The India new ball bowlers were wayward at the start but managed to make a good comeback as the game progressed.

India (IND) vs Pakistan (PAK), Champions Trophy, Key Moments – PAK Inning Summary

• Brilliant last over by Harshit Rana. Dismissed Khushdil Shah and conceded none. Pakistan bowled out for 241
• Wicket! You can’t Kuldeep out of action now. He has picked up his third wicket. Naseem Shah has been dismissed for 14 off 16 balls.
• Two in two for Kuldeep Yadav. Salman Agha and Shaheen Shah Afridi depart in successive balls. Pakistan 7 Down
• Another one bites the dust. Jadeja hits the timber and Tahir goes back to the dressing room. Pakistan 5 down.
• Wicket! Hardik Pandya now gets into the act. Removes the set batter Saud Shakeel. This is a big blow for Pakistan.
• Bowled Him! Axar Patel comes to the party when India needed the most. Rizwan departs; Century-Run Stand broken.
• Saud Shakeel gets Pakistan back on track with a gritty fifty.
• The partnership between Rizwan & Shakeel continues to flourish for Pakistan as India aim to break the partnership.
• Rizwan and Shakeel bring up their fifty-run stand for the third wicket.
• Mohammed Shami is back on the field and has started bowling.
• Run Out! Brilliant from Axar and Imam would be kicking himself. There was no run there and a direct hit by Axar gave Imam no chance to make it to the bowlers’ end. It was his call and will have only himself to blame.
• Wicket! And a big one. Hardik Pandya has done the trick. Removes Babar Azam, who was looking increasingly dangerous.
• Hardik Pandya replaces Shami. We don’t know yet what is wrong with Shami. He has walked off the field.

• Pakistan are off to a decent start against India with Babar Azam looking in great touch.

India will be coming into this game on the back of an impressive win against Bangladesh. On the other hand, Pakistan suffered a crushing defeat at home at the hands of New Zealand in their first match of the Champions Trophy 2025. Hence, this will be a must-win match for the Men in Green if they aim to progress in the semi-final of the mega ICC tournament.

Pakistan will be without the services of Fakhar Zaman , who was ruled out of the Champions Trophy 2025, after getting injured while fielding in the first game vs New Zealand. It is Imam Ul Haq who has replaced him in the squad.
