India, led by MS Dhoni came up against Pakistan once again in 2009 ICC Champions Trophy. The two teams were facing each other after almost a year and a half and yet again it was a much-awaited clash as always. Skipper Younis Khan won the toss and decided to make first use of the wicket by batting.

Pakistan scored a mammoth 302 on the back of a double century stand between Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Yousuf. Malik went on to make one of his better centuries and was only dismissed in the penultimate over for 128. India looked to be in the chase for the most part of the 40 overs but were folded soon as Rahul Dravid was dismissed for a well made 76 in 42nd over. Pakistan once again held their nerve in a tense clash and it was 2-0 in their favour in Champions Trophy.
