Champions Trophy Points Table After IND vs PAK Match: India secured a memorable win over arch-rivals Pakistan in Dubai on February 23 (Sunday) with the help of Virat Kohli’s brilliant 51st ODI century which followed a dominant performance by the Indian bowlers as the Men in Blue defeated Pakistan by six wickets. The victory all but confirmed India’s place in the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinals while it left Pakistan on the verge of elimination.
Opting to bat first, Pakistan struggled early after losing Babar Azam (23) and Imam-ul-Haq (10) but were steadied by a 104-run stand between Saud Shakeel (62) and Mohammad Rizwan (46). However, India’s bowlers struck back, with Kuldeep Yadav (3/40) leading the attack as wickets tumbled. Despite Khushdil Shah’s late 38-run effort, Pakistan managed only 241, which proved insufficient against India’s strong batting lineup.

Rohit Sharma (20) provided a brisk start, while Hardik Pandya (8) fell cheaply. Despite wickets from Shaheen Afridi and Abrar Ahmed, Kohli’s composure ensured India’s dominant win, virtually securing their semifinal spot.

Are Pakistan Knocked Out Of The Champions Trophy 2025?
Pakistan, who have lost both their games in the tournament are dangerously placed. However, there’s one way they could still reach the Champions Trophy 2025 semis.
If New Zealand lose both of their remaining matches against Bangladesh and India, and Pakistan win their final game (against Bangladesh), all three teams—Pakistan, New Zealand, and Bangladesh—will end up with 2 points from 3 matches. In this scenario, Pakistan can qualify for the semifinals based on a superior net run rate (NRR). However, for that to happen, Pakistan will need to register a massive win over Bangladesh to better that NRR, which currently stands at -1.087— the worst in the group.
