Pakistan stormed into the finals of the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy by thrashing England by eight wickets at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff. England who were the overwhelming favorites had a very poor forgettable day; despite a strong start they failed to consolidate and were bundled out for 211 in 49.3 overs. The Pakistan bowling was spot on and despite lack of wickets initially they managed to reduce England from a strong position of 128 for 2 to 211 all out.
For a change the Pakistan batting was very strong and emphatic with Fakhar Zaman and Azhar Ali giving a rousing start of 118 runs for the first wicket. Babar Azam and Hafeez continued the good work of the openers and took Pakistan to a shocking one sided win. Who said Cricket was a predictable game ?
Listen to the excellent analysis from the lady at Delhi, Anjum Chopra who has her unique perspective about the days proceedings.
