The ICC Champions Trophy finished in a one-sided contest as Pakistan demolished defending champions India by a massive 180-run margin to lift the trophy for the very first time.

The tournament had some good moment and some not-so-good moment like the English weather but throughout its three weeks, there were a lot of interesting records and statistics to take note of like the 180 run victory was the highest in ICC ODI final.

Let’s take a glance at some of the fascinating records and stats:

Highest Run-Getter:

The Indian opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan won the golden bat for scoring 338 runs in 5 innings at an incredible average of 67.60 and a strike-rate of 101.80, winning the title for the second time running. Dhawan had one hundred and two fifties with the highest score of 125 against Sri Lanka.

Highest Wicket Taker:

Pakistan’s high flying attacking pace bowler Hasan Ali has become the highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 13 wickets in 5 matches at an average of 14.69 and economy of 4.29. With 13 wickets, he is now the joint leading wicket taker in any Champions Trophy tournament, along with Jerome Taylor.
