India secured a spot in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 semi-finals after defeating Pakistan by 6 wickets, with Virat Kohli scoring a century. Pakistan, the defending champions, were eliminated in the group stage following New Zealand’s 5-wicket victory over Bangladesh. Pakistan's exit marks a major embarrassment, prompting speculation over coach Aaqib Javed's dismissal. Javed Miandad criticized the team's lack of "passion and fire." Meanwhile, New Zealand advanced, thanks to Rachin Ravindra’s hundred. Pakistan will face Bangladesh on February 27, but a washout could leave them without a single win.
