Top 10 moments of Champions Trophy 2017
It was the most exciting edition of the Champions Trophy with teams punching way above their weights.
8. Pakistan emerge from the ashes to win maiden title
Pakistan’s performances have always oscillated between the boon and the banal especially against big teams in ICC events. They were humiliated by India in their first group game and were never expected to go any further into the tournament. They beat South Africa in the next game and people thought that it was a flash in the pan. They somehow got across Sri Lanka which got them a berth in the semi-finals. Not many fancied Pakistan to overhaul England, but the Men in Green comprehensively defeated the hosts to romp into their first final of Champions Trophy.
India were again expected to end Pakistan’s revival in the event but Sarfaraz’s men surprised everyone to maul India in the most lopsided manner. Pakistan eventually won by a colossal margin of 180 runs. The chief architects of the title win were Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali and the skipper himself.
