India 244 for 4 (Kohli 100 *, Iyer 56, Afridi 2-74) Beat Pakistan 241 All Out (Shakeel 62, Kuldeep 3-40, Hardik 2-31) by six counters

In the biggest match of the year, its mortality showing more than ever before, Virat Kohli Proven that he always has it, that perhaps, just perhaps, the little he has lost is not going to define it. He checked 14,000 points in ODI cricketHigh up its 51st century ODI, set up India for a place in the semi-finals and essentially exceeded Pakistan of the Champions 2025 trophy. The holders and hosts need other results to go to stay Living in the tournament now.

India has entered the game as a favorite. They were worthy of this sowing set, limiting Pakistan to 241 with Hardy Pandya Put the kind of performance that should make it illegal. An Allrounder capable of rejecting the best opposition striker, then returning to eliminate his top scorer, is not only a name on the sheet. It is the secret sauce.

And Kuldeep Yadav was the spice. His wrist with left arms is so rare and he made it rarer by finding a way to be quick in the air without compromising the tour or precision. This therefore means that the strikers take it out of hand, they will always guess. Three strikers from Pakistan have guessed badly. All three were final counters. Pakistan was preparing to explode for death. Kuldeep would simply not leave them. The injury did not affect his threat.

Pakistan was able to produce moments. Shaheen Shah Afridi sent a 143 km / h yorker to break the strains of Rohit Sharma. Abrar Ahmed evoking a carrom ball from hell to get rid of an unleashed shubman connection. But when it came to capitalizing on them, they just couldn’t. The result was a world champion team who was known to have withdrawn the fire matches now seems to be the first part – they have definitely had trouble in Dubai – but the other part, the important part is so bad. Pakistan had 151 for 2 in the 34th before they were overturned for 241 with the most inexperienced member of the India team dictating the terms, Harshit Rana and his slower bullets were simply impossible to strike.

A game in an ICC event and a rivalry with history by ultimately elected ultimately have finally become so unilateral that its last moments were dominated by an individual prosecution. Axar Patel refused one two easy so that Kohli can continue his hundred. Dubai’s crowd loved it. There were 12 points to obtain for the victory of India and 12 points to obtain the century of their hero and they sang his name again and again. Pakistan was not found. Since a collapse of 3 for 11 in 19 bullets, this match has become in the form of a pear for them.

Mohammad Rizwan had banned the sleeves that take place so differently. He arrived at 47 for 2 and struck his first ball for four, then decided that the race was not for him. He was 24 out of 50. He barely struck the angle ball. He refused white. At the other end, Saud Shakeel made at least one effort to transform the good bullets he was confronted with singles. When he arrived at fifty, he had only resisted 29 points. At the same time, Ricewan at the other end, had accumulated 40 years. India has done well by refusing it to start to start its sleeves. But yet it was a better field than the opening match in Dubai a few days ago. It was not flat, but there was a little more rhythm, and he improved under the lights. Ricewan, however, struck as if it was cursed. He was worried, bad things would happen if he was trying to hit the ball hard.

And it did it a bit. Ricewan fell trying to hit Axar from the ground and his counter triggered a collapse. Shakeel fell into the next one and Tayyab Tahir followed soon after. India, after spending 320 deliveries through two games looking for a counter in the middle of the Overs, had found three in the space of four. Pakistan was 165 years old for 5. Soon, they would have 200 for 7, having to negotiate the last 7.1 Overs of the sleeves with their exposed tail.

India’s discipline has never let Pakistan take down and open the way was bold, hitting the ball just at less than a length on land that offered a little grip and a rebound in tennis. He released Babar Azam at a time when India’s fast launcher, Mohammed Shami, was out of the field with a problem of Tibia and he made a lack of rhythm just after the left -hander struck him for four. He always knew what to do to exploit the conditions and make the life of the striker miserable. At the back of her work, Kuldeep and Rana played 6.4 Death Overs for 28 points and picked up four counters.

Gill was the star of the pursuit of India at the beginning, a conscious effort to prevent his foot before moving too far and leaving him very well placed to take advantage of Afridi and his complete deliveries when there was No swing proposed. When he struck Pakistan’s fast launcher on the ground, then only one while going down the track and lifting the ball into the Victier, it seemed that it would be his day. Abrar intervened with a bullet that derived in the air, trying the right -hander to close the face of his bat, and turned away to shake the middle and the stump. Gill was amazed.

Kohli also offered an uptop of shoulders. He also looked vulnerable against Abrar and was almost launched while playing him. But against the rapids, he was vintage. He exceeded 14,000 points with net coverage, Haris Rauf. All of Pakistan’s best than Pakistan offers a rhythm on the ball. And it’s Kohli’s happy place. A striker of his quality must be made uncomfortable at the fold when it is new. He had been dismissed five times in his last six ODI by Legspin. Pakistan had one and they felt that they couldn’t go to him.

Shreyas Iyer helped half a century. A small change in his technique where he holds his batter and acts it while the bowler player approaches, creating momentum in his shots, helps him facing a previous weakness against the short balloon . He struck the rau for four in front of square to prove it. But there was no provision of the spotlights of his senior partner.

Kohli stared at the tempo. Pakistan had made it possible to do so. Although he only reached three of his first 62 bullets on the border, he already had fifty points in his name. He knows how to mark quickly without looking for big blows. The ball did not stop on the surface as much under the lights. Things worked again in his favor. He almost knew he was going to have a hundred. He demanded an explanation when Axar refused a second race of a large in the 42nd when he was clear to everyone that everything he did was to make sure that Kohli had the best chance to arrive at three Figures with time that is exhausted. When he did it, out of the last ball in the match, Kohli turned to the locker room and literally said: “I told you. To relax. “It was how easy it was. It was how inevitable it was.
