{{/usCountry}}Pakistan came out with a splendid all-round performance as they defeated arch-rival India by 180 runs to lift their maiden Champions Trophy title.
{{/usCountry}}Chasing a challenging total of 339 runs, India bowed down before the Pakistani bowlers and got all out for mere 158 runs in 33.3 overs.
Chasing such a big target, that too in the finals was never going to be easy and India had pinned all its hopes on Virat Kohli, one of the best chasers in the world as he had done so many times for the Men in Blue in the past.
