ANKARA – Turkish President Reccep Tayyip Erdogan has congratulated the nation after Pakistan’s maiden Champions Trophy win in 2017 on Sunday.

Mohammad Amir removed all of India s top three as Pakistan stunned their arch-rivals with a remarkable 180-run win at The Oval.

Title-holders India, set 339 to win, collapsed to 33 for three and 54 for five against a Pakistan side they had thrashed by 124 runs in their tournament opener at Edgbaston on June 4.

They were eventually dismissed for 158, with 19.3 overs to spare.
