Team India’s win

AFP reports that Virat struck an unbeaten 100 to lead India to a six-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday and push the title holders to the brink of elimination from the Champions Trophy. Chasing 242 for victory, he hit a boundary to seal the match with 45 balls to spare and register his 51st ODI ton after an innings, which also saw him pass 14,000 runs in one-day international cricket. He removed his helmet and raised his bat to the Dubai International Stadium crowd after taking India closer to the semi-finals with two wins in two outings in Group A.
