Champions Trophy: Performance of Last 7 Host Nations

7. 2002 – Sri Lanka (Co-hosted with India)

6. 2004 – England

5. 2006 – India

4. 2009 – South Africa

3. 2013 – England & Wales

1. 2025 - Pakistan

Sports, Cricket - Champions Trophy: Performance of Last 7 Host Nations ft Pakistan, India, England, Wales as current hosts faced exit at the group stage. 

<p>Virat Kohli showcased his penchant to lord over Pakistan in ICC tournaments once more as the batting icon's glittering unbeaten 100 helped India claim an authoritative six-wicket win over their traditional rivals and all but seal a semifinal spot in the Champions Trophy here on Sunday (Feb 23).</p>
<p>The victory should be enough for India, who are now on top of Group A with four points, to make the last four. However, Pakistan are staring at early elimination from the eight-team event after their second successive loss.</p>
<p>Chasing a tricky 242, India rode on Kohli's 51st ODI ton, Shreyas Iyer's classy 67-ball 56 and Shubman Gill's brilliant start of 46 off 52 balls to overhaul the target with more than seven overs to spare.</p>
<p>Kohli rebelled against his own modest recent form and a dangerous opposition to peel off a memorable knock that took 111 balls and was punctuated with seven fours.</p>
<p>Pakistan, on the other hand, are on their way out of the tournament of which they are the hosts.&nbsp;A large chunk of credit for this win can also be rightfully claimed by Indian bowlers, who were stunningly accurate while limiting Pakistan to 241.</p>
<p>That total was made possible by Saud Shakeel's polished fifty and Khushdil's cameo. Shakeel (62, 76b, 5x4) was largely untroubled and added 104 runs for the third wicket with skipper Mohammad Rizwan (46), but Pakistan never really managed to break the shackles after opting to bat.</p>

<p>That's all for today from us. We'll be back tomorrow with more updates and info on the Champions Trophy 2025, until then stay with us for complete coverage of the ICC tournament.</p>

<p>Pakistan skipper Muhammad Rizwan wins the toss and elected to bat first in Dubai.</p>
<p><strong>Rizwan:</strong> Looks like a good surface and doesn't matter, so we want to bat first. If you play an ICC event, every game is important. The boys are familiar with the conditions and we've done well in this ground as well. Yeah, we lost the last game but it's in the past for us. <strong>One change: Imam in for Fakhar.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Rohit: </strong>Doesn't matter, and we will bowl first. It's not the same surface but looks similar to what we played on, in the last game. It could get slower. Great opportunity to come out and do what we do as a team. The way we played the last game...it wasn't easy for us and we had to work our way. You want to test yourself and be under pressure. <strong>We're playing the same team</strong>.</p>

Sports, Cricket: Chasing 242, India rode on Kohli's ton, Iyer's 67-ball 56 and Gill's brilliant start of 46 off 52 balls to overhaul the target with more than seven overs to spare

Virat Kohli showcased his penchant to lord over Pakistan in ICC tournaments once more as the batting icon's glittering unbeaten 100 helped India claim an authoritative six-wicket win over their traditional rivals and all but seal a semifinal spot in the Champions Trophy here on Sunday (Feb 23). The victory should be enough for India, who are now on top of Group A with four points, to make the last four. However, Pakistan are staring at early elimination from the eight-team event after their second successive loss. Chasing a tricky 242, India rode on Kohli's 51st ODI ton, Shreyas Iyer's classy 67-ball 56 and Shubman Gill's brilliant start of 46 off 52 balls to overhaul the target with more than seven overs to spare. Kohli rebelled against his own modest recent form and a dangerous opposition to peel off a memorable knock that took 111 balls and was punctuated with seven fours. Pakistan, on the other hand, are on their way out of the tournament of which they are the hosts. A large chunk of credit for this win can also be rightfully claimed by Indian bowlers, who were stunningly accurate while limiting Pakistan to 241. That total was made possible by Saud Shakeel's polished fifty and Khushdil's cameo. Shakeel (62, 76b, 5x4) was largely untroubled and added 104 runs for the third wicket with skipper Mohammad Rizwan (46), but Pakistan never really managed to break the shackles after opting to bat.

<p>In the seventh over, bowled by Hardik Pandya, Babar creamed another overpitched delivery for his third four of the day. In the next over by spinner Axar Patel, the Pakistan batter smashed one boundary over mid-on.</p>

<p>The best of his fours came in the next over when he drove Pandya once again through covers. Babar tried the same shot on the next ball, but this time edged it behind as the ball moved away after pitching, hindering the drive.</p>
<p>Babar, who was criticised a lot for his slow innings in the opening match against New Zealand, scored a quickfire 23 off 26 balls with five fours before being dismissed. Have a look at the wicket below:</p>

Champions Trophy, IND vs PAK: Babar Azam hit five fours in his innings of 23 runs but eventually became victim of his own favorite shot - the drive. Cricket Sports

Pakistan batter Babar Azam started off his innings in a positive way during the Champions Trophy match against India on Feb 23 in Dubai. The batter hit five fours in his innings of 23 runs but eventually became victim of his own favorite shot—the drive. Opening the batting with Imam ul Haq, Babar used his wrists for his first four between midwicket and mid-on off Harshit Rana in the fourth over. In the same over, Babar drove a pitched-up delivery for another four, showing his class. Watch the shot below: View this post on Instagram A post shared by ICC (@icc) In the seventh over, bowled by Hardik Pandya, Babar creamed another overpitched delivery for his third four of the day. In the next over by spinner Axar Patel, the Pakistan batter smashed one boundary over mid-on. Also Read: History suggests Rohit is set to score big vs Pakistan in Dubai The best of his fours came in the next over when he drove Pandya once again through covers. Babar tried the same shot on the next ball, but this time edged it behind as the ball moved away after pitching, hindering the drive. Babar, who was criticised a lot for his slow innings in the opening match against New Zealand, scored a quickfire 23 off 26 balls with five fours before being dismissed.

<p>Ace batter Virat Kohli's form is a cause of concern for the team as India take on Pakistan in the blockbuster Champions Trophy match on Feb 23 in Dubai. Kohli, considered as one of the greatest ODI batters of all time, has played just seven games since Nov 19, 2023 &nbsp;including the ODI World Cup final and has managed to score only 191 runs. Kohli has scored these runs at an average of 27 with just two fifties to his name.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Virat Kohli's record against Pakistan in ICC Tournaments</strong></h2>
<p>Kohli has played eight games against Pakistan in ICC Champions Trophy and World Cup combined - scoring 333 runs at an average of 55.50 with two fifties and a hundred. The hundred, however, came long back in 2015 ODI World Cup when he scored 107 not out.</p>

<p>In ICC Champions Trophy, Kohli has played four games against Pakistan and has scored 124 runs - 81 of those came in 2017 edition's group-stage match.

<p>The last time Kohli faced Pakistan in an ICC tournament, he scored 16 runs before getting out in Ahmedabad in 2023 ODI World Cup. In that tournament, Kohli had scored record 765 runs but his failure against Pakistan suggests a worrying trend for India.</p>
<p>Overall in ODIs, Kohli did score a fifty against England in the final ODI before the Champions Trophy but before that his last 50 plus score had come in 2023 ODI World Cup final on Nov 19, 2023.</p>
<p>In the match against Bangladesh, he was looking good before being dismissed for 22 - another subpar score given his stature.</p>
<p>In another concern, Kohli has gotten out to leg-spin six times in his last six ODIs, something Pakistan would be aware of and would try to exploit as well.</p>

<p>India skipper Rohit Sharma may have been going through a bit of rough patch but if history is any indicator, the batter is all set to unleash his best against Pakistan in Champions Trophy match on Feb 23 in Dubai.
