THE TURNING POINTS

-

A look at the key moments from the Champions Trophy final that went Pakistan’s way.

NOBALL DISMISSAL

India could have got an early breakthrou­gh, in the fourth over itself when the Pakistan’s total was just eight. Fakhar Zaman edged one to the wicketkeep­er off Jasprit Bumrah. However, it turned out to be a no-ball. Fakhar got a reprieve and cashed in with a century that laid the platform for a big total.

THE LAST TEN

Virat Kohli brought in trump card Kedar Jadhav to test the batsmen. He managed to pick a wicket. However, Imad Wasim and Md Hafeez plundered 16 off his third over. It summed up a poor day for India spinners who went for 164 runs in 21 overs.

AMIR’S BURST

Md Amir picked two wickets in his first two overs to dent India’s chances of a successful chase. He had Rohit Sharma leg before, then induced a false shot from Kohli to get him caught at point. Soon, Shikhar Dhawan was out caught behind too.
