Twitter reacts as Pakistan finally wins against India after many years
Pakistan secured their first-ever Champions Trophy crown with a convincing 180-run victory over India at the Oval today. While Fakhar Zaman (114) and Mohammad Amir (3/16) were the stars of the show, the Twitteratti were more than happy to provide some light moments on a dark day for India.
Brief Scores: Pakistan 338/4 (Fakhar Zaman 114, Azhar Ali 59; Kedar Jadhav 1/27, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 1/44) beat India 158/10 (Hardik Pandya 76; Mohammad Amir 3/16, Hasan Ali 3/19) by 180 runs.Β
Here are the best tweets from the game:
Divided by nation united by cricket! :)

Rameez: Pakistan way ahead of India in ODIs
Ganguly: That was in your generation rameez #INDvPAK
Both the openers started off well, especially Fakhar Zaman!
Pakistan skilfully demoralising India by luring them into missed run outs and wickets off no balls. Wily stuff. #CT17Final

The highlight of the day was...
I can't get enough of Ramiz saying "Fakhar" π€£π€£π€£. His batting is also entertaining. #ChampionsTrophyFinal
β Usman Khawaja (@Uz_Khawaja) June 18, 2017
Then the Pakistani openers undid all their hard work!
You can take the Pakistani out of Pakistan, but you can't take the run-out gene away from him #CT17 #INDvSA pic.twitter.com/tfWzPyxXNJ
β Saj Sadiq (@Saj_PakPassion) June 11, 2017
Another good thing about the wicket!
The other good thing with Fakhar getting out is Rameez will stop saying 'Fakhar' in a British accent. It's sounded odd.#INDvPAK
