Looked Very Predictable From A Long Way Out: Atherton Terms India-Pak Contest 'one-sided'

By IANS News February 25, 2025 • 13:28 PM View: 427

Sky Sports Podcast: Former England captain Michael Atherton has described the intense rivalry between India and Pakistan as "one-sided", following India's win in the Group A match of the Champions Trophy.

The highly-anticipated India-Pakistan clash in the 2025 Champions Trophy turned out to be another lopsided affair, with Rohit Sharma’s men securing a dominant six-wicket win in Dubai to seal their place in the semfinals.

Speaking on the Sky Sports Podcast, Atherton highlighted that despite all the hype surrounding the fixture, the match has not lived up to expectations.
