Pakistan win Champions Trophy, beat India by 180 runs

Well, what an amazing performance from the Pakistan team on the big day against their arch-rivals India. Who could have thought that this would be such a one-sided match today?

Well done, Pakistan. Sensational bowling from Mohammed Amir. The key was the three quick wickets - Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan - that Amir took at the start, killing the match as a contest after the 27-year-old Fakhar Zaman (114) played the innings of his life to help Pakistan post 338/4.

India would ponder if things would have been different had they batted first after winning the toss. But nobody expected their batsmen to collapse the way they did.

The whole of Pakistan will be celebrating tonight. Sarfraz Ahmed's young team wrote a chapter of their own today in their proud cricket history.

Congratulations to the Pakistan team. And thank you for joining us for the live updates.

Shortly after Pakistan's win, former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag tweeted out to congratulate the men in green.

"Congratulations Pakistan on a really comprehensive victory today. Well played, deserved winners and a great result for Pakistan cricket," he tweeted.
