2017 Champions Trophy Final

This one is fresh in everyone’s mind. In the end, it was a one-sided affair. It was the Champions Trophy final, and Pakistan won it despite all pre-match reasoning pointing to India, who had crushed Pakistan in the tournament’s first game and had only lost to them twice* in a major ICC event. More importantly, it was remembered because of Mohammad Amir. Even with India’s strong batting line-up, Fakhar Zaman’s century had set up a difficult chase for them. In one dizzying period, Amir accounted for Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shikhar Dhawan, leaving no space for debate. Against a top-tier top order, it was a superb performance. One of the most impressive you’ll ever witness. Pakistan won the tie with 180 runs in what was an embarrassing defeat for India.
