In a crucial breakthrough for India, Hardik Pandya dismissed Saud Shakeel for 62 runs off 76 balls in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 clash. Shakeel, who was anchoring Pakistan’s innings, attempted a pull shot off a back-of-length off-cutter but mistimed it. Axar Patel positioned himself well at deep square leg and took a comfortable catch to send Shakeel back to the pavilion.
With this dismissal, Pakistan finds itself in a tricky situation, losing their third wicket while looking to accelerate. Hardik Pandya continues to deliver for India, maintaining pressure on the Pakistani batting lineup.
India now has an opportunity to capitalize on this breakthrough and restrict Pakistan to a manageable total. Can Pakistan build a strong finish, or will India’s bowlers dominate the death overs? Stay tuned for live updates!
