Let's take a look back at this historic match and all that led up to it.

Background

The 2017 ICC Champions Trophy was the 8th edition of the ICC Champions Trophy, a cricket tournament for the eight top-ranked ODI teams in the world. The tournament was hosted by England and Wales, from 1 to 18 June 2017. India won the tournament for the second time, defeating Pakistan by 180 runs in the final at The Oval. This was also Pakistan's first defeat against India in an ICC event final.

The format for the tournament was a single group of eight teams, with each team playing each other once in a 50-over match. The top four teams in the group qualified for the semi-finals, with the first-placed team playing the fourth-placed team, and the second-placed team playing the third-placed team. The winners of those matches played each other in the final.

In April 2016, ICC confirmed that Pakistan would replace Bangladesh in the tournament, after Bangladesh pulled out of hosting its portion of matches due to security concerns. This meant that all matches were played in England and Wales instead of being split between those two countries and Bangladesh as originally planned.

Pakistan were seeded fourth in Group B ahead of South Africa, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. They started their campaign with a 124-run victory over arch-rivals India at Edgbaston. However, they lost their next match against Sri Lanka by 3 wickets before comfortably beating Bangladesh by 7 wickets to finish on top of their group and qualify for the semi-finals.
