DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Virat Kohli's 100 not out has led India to a six-wicket win over arch rival Pakistan in their Group A clash at the Champions Trophy, putting the cricket tournament hosts at risk of a potential early exit. Kohli reached 14,000 runs in ODIs on his way to a record-extending 51st hundred as India finished with 244-4 in 42.3 overs. Kuldeep Yadav took 3-40 and Pakistan was bowled out for 241 in 49.4 overs after winning the toss and opting to bat. Saud Shakeel top-scored with 62 off 76. The rivals met at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium despite Pakistan hosting the tournament, as India is playing its league games – and potential knockout matches – in the United Arab Emirates.
