NEW DELHI: India posted a competitive total of 249/9, thanks to Shreyas Iyer's well-crafted half-century and Hardik Pandya's aggressive late innings performance on a challenging pitch in the ICC Champions Trophy final group stage match in Dubai on Sunday.
The Indian middle order demonstrated resilience after an early collapse to 30/3. India now faces the task of defending 250 runs to maintain their perfect record of three victories in three matches.
