Kohli century earns India victory over Pakistan

Virat Kohli completed his 51st one-day international century with the winning runs as India beat Pakistan by six wickets in their Champions Trophy match in Dubai.

Electing to bat first, Pakistan made 241 before being all out with two deliveries left in their stop-start innings. Saud Shakeel (62) and Mohammad Rizwan (46) scored the bulk of the runs for Pakistan while spinner Kuldeep Yadav claimed 3-40.

Kohli anchored a tricky chase with his unbeaten 100, completed with a cover drive that saw India reach their target. Shreyas Iyer added 56 as India registered their second successive victory in Group A of the tournament with 7.3 overs to spare. Reuters
