Final Cricket: Champions Trophy Highlights

The trophy shared between India and Sri Lanka. 2013, India! Brilliant

bowling by Hasan are laid. Isn't it amazing, this man is the partnership

breaker -- Hasan Ali. He gets another 101. Pakistan have crashed

England here in Cardiff. They have booked their place in the final. The

fourth time India get into the final of the Champions Trophy. We are

ready for this final. Bring it on. After 18 days and 14 matches we have

arrived at the final of the 2017 ICC too strophe between the archrivals

India and Pakistan. Reportedly over 1 billion people worldwide will be

watching this match unfold and the tickets have been as hot as the

weather -- ICC Champions Trophy. India cruised to the final with

brutal displays of batting. India won that choice and chose to bowl.

Virat Kohli's India love to chase. Batting first will be Pakistan and

they have the in form partnership opening. Mohammad Hafeez at number

four. They all batted well against England. Pakistan's strength is in

the bowling attack. Hasan Ali is leading the statistics and he is

aided by Khan and Mohammed Amir. India has the best batting line-up.

Sharma has scored more runs than anyone else and the captain has the

highest average. If you manage to get rid of them cheaply, you have

the talented A27 macro. Before play, The Oval fell silent to

remember those who have died, including the recent fire in North

Kensington. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you. The

scene is set for the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final. The best

batting team in the world against the best bowling team. Let us join

the action in the first over. India would want to see the ball to wobble

a little bit. I think this pitch has got enough sideways movement to

trouble Pakistan. Let us see how Fakhar Zaman and companies see this

off. It is a fresh wicket. Here we go. The first ball of the final. It

is a good delivery outside the off stump. Taking it away from the

right-hander. Down the leg side, it will be given as a wide. The first

run is for Pakistan. Outside edge. And he nicks it this time. It is

exactly what we were talking about. There will be a check on the front

foot. Here's hoping against hope that this may work for Pakistan. He

is clearly over the line and it is a no ball. Your breathing again!

Incredible. Well, what a start. Outside edge. He was looking to go

back on his way, Fakhar Zaman, at Bumrah has clearly overstepped and

overstepped by some distance. Clearly an edge.

Gets it off and inside edge, it is a boundary. Inside edge, trying to hit

hard through the off-side. It is a straight hit. Well timed. Just 100

onto him. Good seam position, not exactly where he wanted it, but he

got the result. There is the shot. It has gone through. The keeper and

the slip fielder, it has been given by leg byes. It is going the way of

Pakistan. Fakhar Zaman with the shot. It hurries onto him. That has

gone. Fakhar Zaman can do that, very unorthodox.

Four, edge. It is edge is all the way, a lot of runs have come behind

the stumps but it does not matter to Pakistan. That is into the gap.

Bumrah. He loses the battle. Just a push, just a flick and it gathers

pace as it goes towards the boundary line. That is his strength on the

on-side. Very good player off his bat. It just raises away to the

boundary. -- it just races away. Six, taking on Ashwin. That is the

first six of the innings. It was tossed up by Ashwin. Hasan Ali is

shimmering down the wicket. Two good strides, good flourish on the bat.

Good placement as well. Great shot. A little bit quicker from Ashwin.

Towards the stumps. Hasan Ali a long way outside off the pace. Good shot.

That is going to get him four. Limited foot movement, limited

string -- swing of the bat. Slight movement of the front foot transfers

his weight into the ball. Punches it down the ground. Growing in

confidence, both these two openers. Good shot, gone with the angle, that

is great shot by the left-hander. 69 for no wicket. In the air and could

hurry away. It does. Hasan Ali ends the over with a boundary. Big shot,

do not think he will cut that off, excellent shot, 100 up for Pakistan

in the final. Excellent stuff from Pakistan. Talking about momentum and

peaking at the right time, Pakistan have definitely done that in this

final. Excellent partnership, all credit to Hasan Ali, when Fakhar

Zaman was struggling, Hasan Ali is positive. And thou man has found the

boundary. Excellent shot, just the timing -- Zaman. I think that will

be 58, tucked in on the leg side, he has 50. They need their senior

players to stand up. Hasan Ali has his second half-century against

India and he knows he is not finished -- sorry, Azhar Ali.

Looking to open up the off-side. Yuvraj up backward point, he misses

it and that is 54 Zaman. A wonderful combination and an exceptional

start. Three 50s in a role in the tournament. The change of opener has

worked. It has worked individually and as a team as well. Played it

late and MS Dhoni is not happy. He gives up the chase. He does not

often give you that sort of width but on this occasion he has. Ali

going along beautifully at the moment. Chance of a run out. Chance

of a run out. Azhar Ali. He was ball watching and his partner was not

interested, it had to happen and India are finding some luck finally.

Bumrah is outstanding with the ball on most occasions. You would have

put him down as the greatest fielder in the world but he has made the

breakthrough, our brilliant bit of work. Zaman ball watching. There is

Ali. Always won there. The communication is off and Bumrah did

brilliantly. He was calling for the delivery. 128-1. 23 overs. That is a

big shot. Big six 488 macro. Lovely shot down the ground. That is not

going to happen today. We're still in charge, still dictating. It is

high, it is long, into the sightscreen for a brilliant six. And

finds the gap. Excellent batting. Brilliant bit of batting. Zaman, his

maturity so far in this tournament has been absolutely superb. Down the

track. Hit it ever so sweetly. This is brilliant stuff from the left

hand. 150 comes up for Pakistan. 150-1. Straight hit and a big hit. A

flat six, Zaman making it look ridiculously easy, taking an Ashwin.

This is such a tough shot. The ball spinning away, he is not quite

there, but his confidence and energy, he is able to throw his

hands out and almost swatted back over the head of the bowler. Another

brilliant boundary. He continues his charge. Then he lets it go through

the off-side, sweetly timed. He is now being rushed for the third.

Another excellent piece of batting from the left-hander. More runs. I

think that was well delivered. Bumrah. Almost catching up with the

ball but it was not to be. Big over for Pakistan. That was on his head

for four. He is not going to stop himself from playing the shots.

Moves into the 90s. Let us look at the shot first. Before we talk about

Ashwin and the way he has bowled. That is going to be four. His first

one-day international. What a stage indeed. What an opposition to do it

against. Against India, in a final. Quite remarkable. Out off a no ball

and he has made India pay. What an amazing story. First game, he was

not playing against India, sacking game against them, he smashes 100.

And no ball that continue to haunt India, happened again, it happened

in Mumbai. He had then. There was no ball. The good thing, he has kept

back in himself. He is going on in that direction. First ball has

disappeared for a six, pressure an Ashwin and what batting from Fakhar

Zaman. That was good batting, towards that pavilion is the shorter

boundary. He is very strong in that area. He has hit it pretty well, but

the other way, that would have been out. That is very clever batting,

pick your bowler and pick your boundary and smash it for six.

200, this is looking ominous for India. This has gone up. And again,

it might just fall away now. He runs back, makes the difficult catch big

easy and as we thought and feared and anticipated, Fakhar Zaman has

gone after 100. If there was one man that you wanted underneath that

ball, it was revenge Jadeja. It was not an easy catch. Swirling over his

shoulder, he made it look so easy -- Jadeja. A wonderful 100 comes to an

end. It is 200-2. That has got to be four. Could not find the York. Phil

Thomas. -- could not finds there yorker. For some reason, his ball

has gone yorker. Good shot, very good shot. Stand and deliver.

Excellent balance on the execution there. Not a lot wrong with that

delivery and that is why Kohli applauded it. Pulled off the front

foot, maybe he was waiting for the short ball. Big shot. He has found

it. That is the maximum. He is a very good player of spin. Picked the

boundary at the right time. Their Art Cole bringing them the left-arm

spinner, he is using his feet. Tasha Krall Virat Kohli. -- Virat Kohli.

Another boundary for Pakistan. Just the momentum they required, six in

the previous over. Bad delivery. He does well to hit it into the gap.

Just Artime to accelerate, Babar Azam. -- just starting to

accelerate. Another short one, nice little flick. Nothing more than just

a little flick. Just a flick and it races away. Bill stopping on this

ground once it gets to the practice pitches. -- no stopping. It is in

the air. That is the one India wanted. Got the very dangerous Malik

out. Tried to give him room again. That was an excellent catch. Why

wouldn't you move like that? India are back again. That is exactly what

I was trying to say, do not hit it blindly, but sensible. Easy catch

for Kedar Jadhav. Still in a good position, Pakistan.

Oh well, just keep going, that is a great shot. Well played. That is the

attitude Pakistan have had for the whole day. Just rather down.

Pressure is on Jadeja. He is a good player of spin. Round arm and he got

it. That was a bad ball from Jadeja. He thought he was coming down. Well

played. That was all due to that first shot when he used his feet.

The pressure is back on Jadeja now. That is a bad delivery, he did well

to connect it. Has he got him? He has got him. Put on the charge. They

need a few more of them, Pakistan. Very good shot. Using his feet. His

bands on the surface helps him to hit it through. It is in the air. Is

that in the gap? Clean as a whistle. Yuvraj. On your bike, barbaric! That

is the one that India wanted. -- has 25-macro. -- Babar. No spin, hits on

the outside part of the bat. Do not underestimate him. Pakistan ) number

four. 267-4. Nice and straight, square on the leg-side. Beautifully

timed again from her fees. -- Hafeez. Have a look at this one,

proper shots. Big shot, has it connected? It has gone. Very good

attempt. Hafeez with a very fine strike. And other maximum. Good

batting from Hafeez. Good use of the feet. Simple swing at the bat. You

can try an overhead like Babar, stay in his shed, trusted his swing and

timing. How down the wicket again. Got close

to it. Hits it hard and flat. One bounce and back into the

sightscreen. Big one from Hafeez. 300 for Pakistan. Perfect late ball

there. Hafeez was having none of that. Same here, it stays stationary

and did not commit all the way. Slower ball, hit harder. Hardik

Pandya is very quick and only had to move ten metres to his left but

could not get there. 54 Hafeez, he did not like the short but it has

been a great innings. 50 from 34. Straight hit. Six! Great result. And

he has played a blinder here. I am repeating myself. Do not worry about

extra cover. It was straight down the ground. Stepped outside his

off-stump. Got the middle of the bat onto it. 78 metres down the ground,

just missed the cameraman. Sly ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Got the full

treatment. Last ball of the innings. It said. Cannot find the fence. --

hits it. India will be happy with the way they ended the last few

overs. They still have to bowl extremely well. That is brilliant.

First half of the game for Pakistan. Indian needs 339 to win. Virat Kohli

has a lot of work to do. Pakistan Post a very challenging total. A

great batting display by Pakistan began with a blistering opening

partnership. The left-hander hitting a sublime 114. Babar played well

before Hafeez really let rip. The Pakistan total went to 338, the

highest total of the tournament and India will require a record-breaking

batting performance if they are to win. For India, the pick of the

bowlers was Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Hardik Pandya also bowled with

accuracy and efficiency. The rest of the bowlers were really taken apart.

By the bludgeoning Pakistani batting line-up. We are now talking to

Fakhar Zaman. I was so lucky to get a no ball. I it is a final against

India. I really enjoyed by innings. Yesterday I was not feeling very

well after the practice session, but thanks to my physio, he was with me

the whole night and I was thinking I would not be able to play tomorrow,

but he told me, you will be fine in the morning. It was thanks to him.

Also, there was a big swing in the wicket. I was taking my time. It got

easier. You will be the highest total chased down in this tournament

if India managed to overhaul the massive Pakistan total. If any team

can do it, India can, they have a talented batting line-up,

spearheaded by Sharma and Dow one. -- Dhawan. Mohammed Amir passed a

fitness test yesterday and he is raring to go from the Pavilion End.

Will he swing this new ball? We have not seen much of it. Shaba on

strike. -- Sharma. Close. That came back in. Given! Will Sharma review

it? He thinks he has gone. That is the beauty. He is asking Dhawan.

There is only one review for India in this innings. One review for each

side. Rohit Sharma walks off. A big blow. We were talking about early

wickets and he strikes. Comes into the right-hander. Right across the

line. A big start for Pakistan. A duck for Rohit Sharma in the final.

Not a man you want to drop! Everything was perfect, apart from

that. Regulation, off the shoulder, catch at someone. Then you look up

and you see it is Kohli. How important is that. In the air. Gone.

He is gone on the next ball. Brilliant from Amir. Pakistan

cricket at its best. Of those Virat Kohli and probably India's chances

in this game. Have a look at Fakhar Zaman, he has done nothing wrong in

this game. He has taken the most important catch in this game. India

are trailing six for two. They needed the boundary, they've

got it. Slower ball, driven on the up. The outfield is quick. Is it

quick enough? Yes. There's no stopping, on the up. He

just races away. Top edge, that will go away for

four. Parade in four pace. -- hurried in, four pace. Punished.

If you are going to go ape in this game, he's going to step up and

leave them. -- go deep. Pakistan has been brilliant with the ball so far.

Cracking shot. That is making a special sound. 19 now.

Dhawan, top of the bounce. Oh, taken, caught behind. Working

fantastically for Mohammed, it's a big one, a big fish. It changes

things now, doesn't it? A wicket taking bowler. It's bounced a

little. He's just sent it off-stump, Shihkar Dhawan. Pakistan are rampant

at the moment. You see the delight. Shihkar Dhawan, the prolific Shihkar

Dhawan, departs for 21. They are reeling, 33-3. Oh, he's so good

against spin. This may just backfire for Pakistan, this move of

introducing spin the Yuvraj. Another shot down the ground. It's a fourth.

This clearly has misfired, this move. It's allowed Yuvraj Singh,

with few these -- few easy boundaries. Celestial in style,

Yuvraj Singh as earned India a massive advantage.

Pad first then the bat, gone for the appeal. Sarfraz feels there is a

strong case. They've gone for review. Thank you, that's their

delivery. Can we get a frontal, please? I want to see if it hit pad

first. It certainly looks like it has. Can you get a Hot Spot, please?

Yes, definitely pad first. I'm happy to go straight to ball tracking,

thank you. Ball tracking coming up now,

Richard. Impact is in line. It's going on to hit the wicket. You are

on camera now, Richard. Incredible! What a wicket. Shadab Khan has

bamboozled a left-hander. It's happening for Pakistan today.

Nothing really has worked for India so far in this contest. It sure

scrap -- its Yuvraj Singh, the latest except, 22 from 31, a wicket

for Shadab Khan, 54-4. Paul shot. Court by Imad Wasim. It's Hasan Ali

who has given Pakistan another massive breakthrough. Is he over the

line? He's fine. He's fine. The heel is hitting the crease, and not over

it. Very good catch will stop low and he took it well and Hasan Ali is

off the mark. MS gone. 54 for the loss of five. The energy with the

ball, what are shot that is. That will be four. Just the energy and

everything they've brought. That's one of the shots of the day, 67-5.

This one has gone straight up. This is going to be another wicket. Six

wickets gone, Shadab Khan strikes again. No need for review this time.

That's the way he plays, comes off on occasions. Doesn't on occasions.

Well, the 18-year-old has just taken his second wicket. It was a big leg

break. He tried to smack on the on-side. The skipper, Sarfraz, I

want risk you little river. We are on our way. This has been wonderful

stuff from Pakistan. You can see the emotion, the passion with which they

are playing. This is great stuff from Pakistan, and unfortunately for

India, they lose their sixth wicket. Judge gone. -- Kedar Jadhav gone.

The cream has gone, the cream of Indian bracket has -- bracket has

gone. I tell you what, Shadab Khan, the wrist spinner, the leg-spinner,

getting a second wicket. Has he got enough? Yes, he has. In

fact, more than enough. It's gone in a second-tier tear. Clean as a

whistle. Pandya just an iced swing of the bat. No use a stand and

deliver start. That's at the top deck. That's hit through the on-side

and that's gone wild into the stands. He is a very powerful

hitter, Hardik Pandya. High and handsome, long over mid-wicket. It's

a good cricketing shot. It just goes to show how good the surface has

been so far, against the turn, through the on-side. This time

again. Will he clear the boundary? He does. Back-to-back sixes for

Hardik Pandya. Hits it again. Third six of the

over. Three consecutive sixes. Brings up his 50 in good time, in

just 32 deliveries. And it's the fastest 50 in a world ODI final.

Tossed it again, this time through covers. Races away to the boundary.

22 runs from this over so far, and they're still one more delivery to

go. This time through mid-wicket. I was

just about to say, he won't stand there and let another one like that

go outside the off-stump. One more. This time, a longer one,

probably the longest. It goes to the turnstile. Well, the fans have

something to cheer, the Indian fans, stand and deliver, 152-6.

Got rid of all three of them. And Hardik Pandya has to go. What India

did in the morning, Pakistan does it in the afternoon. Was a bit of

agitation earlier between these two as well with some running between

the wickets. He's absolutely livid, Hardik Pandya, as he should be. Big,

big sub, pushed it in the off-side from Jadeja and just doesn't go.

Plenty of time for the fields man. Took his time, bouncing into the

bowler, and the simplest of runouts. Pandya on his way, India now 7-152.

Once again Pakistan strike. 76. Outside edge. They haven't missed

much, Pakistan. And once again he strikes with the old ball. Jen A De

Bakker in the attack. -- Jen A. 8-156, India.

Outside edge. Hassan strikes again. What a cricketer he is. What about

the energy? It's created in that Pakistan horrible right now, they

are coming from everywhere, the players, as they should. Hasan Ali

again, good links, Sime. Ashwin clashes outside the off-stump.

Through Sarfraz. Isn't he happy, the Pakistan captain? Ashwin on his way.

India now 9-156. Sarfraz takes the catch, it's all

over. Pakistan win. 158, India. Blown away in the final and it's

Pakistan who are through. Over the line, a massive win. Great scenes.

And after a very long break, they were able to beat India in an

all-important contest. They richly deserved this. They were the better

side on the day. Brilliant with the bat and exquisite with the ball and

Sarfraz, what a leader they've found in him. And the fireworks go up and

it really was one cracker of a performance. Just a complete

performance from Sarfraz and his men. On a flat track, they were able

to derail and demolish Indian batting. Yes, congratulations,

Pakistan. Deserved the trophy come you've been the best side. They

played very, very well. You have to feel for India. They played well

through the tournament. They were blown away today. India just weren't

good enough today. Pakistan flexed their muscles with the bat, the

ball, they were clearly the better side today. Just blew India away and

they are in for a wonderful night tonight, that's for sure,

celebrating with their friends. United when their captain Sarfraz

has led the team well, everyone has contributed for the Pakistan team.

And they are team that is together. All behind their skipper. What a

tournament we've had and congratulations. Go on, Pakistan,

you deserve it. STUDIO:

The best batting line-up in the world simply didn't turn up. Rohit

Sharma, MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav all failing to reach double figures.

A quickfire 76 from 43 balls from Hardik Pandya before that desperate

run out was the only score really worth a mention. Remember, this

batting line-up hit Pakistan for 319, just two weeks ago. But what up

performance from the Pakistan bowling attack. Mohammed Ali bowled

with ferocity. Hasan Ali was aggressive. He took three wickets

for just 19 and he ends the tournament as the highest wicket

taker cup, claiming 13 wickets. The eighth ranked team in the world

proved everyone wrong against their biggest rival. Pakistan won by 180

runs, bowling India Alpha 158, with almost 20 overs remaining. A team

that has in the past underperformed has chalked up a famous and historic

victory. After losing the first game and like we were in a next round at

the knockout stage, so there was no chance and everyone just wanted a

great character and I really have him because all it is for the

Pakistan, for the nation, because they've been waiting for this for a

very long time and I think this is what we all like to do. A great game

for the team, I'm so happy. Weldon, three wickets and three quality

wickets. That was terrific stuff at the top. I think that the start we

needed and we were looking for that and at the order, then were

informed, but I was looking for it and I did it. How is your the

pressure? It's not an easy team to coach. Oh, it's not, it's been up

and down. I'm so proud of the boys. We dusted ourselves off after the

India defeat at Edgbaston. We came back superbly on the group kept

believing. We knew we prepared well. We knew we were better than that and

the dust ourselves off and comeback has been a remarkable achievement

and I'm so proud of everybody. That must be very disappointing for you?

Indeed. I want to congratulate the Pakistan team and their fans first.

I think they had an amazing tournament. The way they turn things

around for themselves speaks volumes of the kind of talent they have in

their side and they proved it again today. They can upset anyone on

their day. Disappointing for us as a team to lose the finals, but I have

a smile on my face, because I'm very proud of the way we played in this

tournament and reaching the finals is obviously coming you need to have

a good tournament, which the boys have pulled off. I think after the

India match, one thing I say to my boys, tournament not finishing it.

If we play good cricket, positive cricket, definitely, and credit goes

to my team management and the boys, they learn very well and now we play

in the finals. You talk about positive cricket. You made a change

in the batting line-up, Fakhar Zaman coming in at the top. How important

is he? He has a great impact. He plays like a champion. Thanks to

Fakhar Zaman, if he plays like this, hopefully he can do this for

Pakistan. You also have a champion bowler, who wasn't there in the

semifinal, when you needed the top three dismantling of India, Mohammad

Amir gave you the option. All credit to the bowlers. I think they bowled

really well. The 2017 ICC Champions Trophy winners are Pakistan. After

18 days of wonderful competition across three different venues,

Pakistan's emphatic dismantling of India's talented batting line-up

sees Sarfraz Ahmed's men crowned champions. Goodbye from the Oval.

even just a memory of happiness is enough to make you happy.

Rob, do you think we did something wrong? No.
