Twitter reacts as Pakistan finally wins against India after many years

06/18/2017

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.

Here are the best tweets from the game:

Divided by nation united by cricket! :)

Ganguly starting the banter early!

●Ganguly trolling Rameez Raja.●

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

Fakhar's batting so far today:

Some Saeed Anwar

Time for Pakistan to summon their inner South Africa #IndvsPak

The highlight of the day was...

I can't get enough of Ramiz saying "Fakhar" 🤣🤣🤣. His batting is also entertaining. #ChampionsTrophyFinal

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

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

Danger man Jadhav struck when he was needed, yet again!

Pakistani batsmen did not prepare for underarm bowling. #Jadhav #INDvPAK

Malik has his story straight as to why he got out!

'I did it for you baby❤️'

Then this bizarre incident happened!

😳 A lucky escape for Hafeez as the ball hits the stumps, but not firmly enough to dislodge the bails! #PAKvIND #CT17 pic.twitter.com/nw3vqmHix8

What would've Amir said after this?

You can see ICC made sure the bails don't fall off - Amir Sohail

Looks like the luck is on Pakistan's side today!

Pakistan's Luck today:

1. Centurion got out to No ball

2. Ball hits the stumps & bails stays

India's chase began horribly!

Now it's game on....Virat Kohli says he is used to massive expectations. There's a lot resting on his shoulders now...

So many hearts were broken today!
