Background
{{See also|India–Pakistan cricket rivalry}}
Pakistan and India share a historical rivalry in cricket. Prior to this match, the two sides had played 128 times against each other in ODIs, where Pakistan won 72 matches, India won 52 matches and four matches ended with no result.{{cite web|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=2;opposition=7;team=6;template=results;type=team|title=Statistics/Statsguru/One-Day Internationals/Team records|work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=20 June 2017}} While Pakistan have had the upper hand bilaterally, India enjoyed an edge in global ICC tournaments where they won 13 times against Pakistan, and Pakistan won twice against India. The two sides met only twice before in the finals of global tournaments: the non-ICC World Championship of Cricket Final in 1985 and the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 Final, both won by India.
Prior to this match, the teams had met four times in the Champions Trophy and had two victories each. Pakistan's last win was in 2009; since then, India won seven games against Pakistan across all ICC tournaments consecutively although India lost the home series in 2012{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-champions-trophy-2017/content/story/1104280.html|title=India's top three v Pakistan's pace|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=17 June 2017|access-date=26 June 2017|first=S.|last=Rajesh}} Their most recent clash was on 4 June 2017, during the group stages of the ongoing Champions Trophy where India won by 124 runs (D/L method).{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/1022353.html|title=ICC Champions Trophy, Group B: India v Pakistan at Birmingham, Jun 4, 2017|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=4 June 2017|access-date=20 June 2017}} Much of the pre-match analysis envisioned a strong contest between India's batting lineup and Pakistan's bowling side, both of which were considered the strengths of their respective teams and remained formidable in this tournament.

Ranked eighth in the ICC ODI Championship at the start of the tournament, Pakistan started poorly, before improving progressively in each game.

India remained unchanged from the side that played the semi-final, while Pakistan brought back their leading pacer Mohammad Amir, who was ruled out of the semi-final against England due to back spasm and replaced Rumman Raees.{{cite news|title=Mohammad Amir set to return for final|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/1104201.html|access-date=19 June 2017|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=16 June 2017}} Indian captain Virat Kohli won the toss and elected his side to field first, sending Pakistan in to bat.{{cite news|title=India win toss, elect to field|url=https://www.sialtv.pk/watch-pakistan-vs-india-champions-trophy-2017-final-match-ptv-sports.html|access-date=18 June 2017|work=SIALTV|date=17 June 2017}}
=Pakistani innings=
The Pakistani opening pair, Azhar Ali and Fakhar Zaman, put on 128 runs before Ali was run out for 59 runs off the last ball of the 22nd over. Zaman, who seemed to have been out for 3 runs, only for a no-ball by Jasprit Bumrah to save him, continued on his way to a 92-ball century – his first at ODI level – eventually falling to Hardik Pandya on the first ball of the 33rd over. He made 114 runs from 106 balls, which included twelve fours and three sixes. After his dismissal, the other Pakistani batsmen kept the score ticking over. Mohammad Hafeez plundered 57 not out from 37 balls, including four fours and three sixes. Pakistan eventually finished on 338/4 – their second-highest ODI score against India – after 50 overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the pick of the Indian bowlers, finishing with 1/44 from 10 overs (including two maidens).[http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-champions-trophy-2017/engine/match/1022375.html ESPNcricinfo]

India started poorly, losing two early wickets to Mohammad Amir.{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/icc-champions-trophy-2017/mohammad-amir-times-virat-kohli-s-dismissal-perfectly-in-champions-trophy-final/story-lxu2nT75PvTS8ZBF5asTGL.html|title=Mohammad Amir times Virat Kohli’s dismissal perfectly in Champions Trophy final|work=Hindustan Times|date=19 June 2017|access-date=24 July 2017|first=Soumitra|last=Bose}} Off the third ball of the game, Rohit Sharma was out leg before wicket for a three-ball duck. In the third over, Virat Kohli was dropped in the slips for just five runs but caught on the next ball by Shadab Khan at point. Their poor form continued until, in the middle of the innings, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja managed a rapid 80-run partnership prior to Pandya being run-out. However this was India's only batting highlight as the tail was quickly dismissed and India were all out after 30.3 overs, not even managing half of Pakistan's total.{{cite news|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-champions-trophy-2017/content/story/1104414.html|title=New champions: Zaman, Amir and Pakistan raze India for title|work=ESPNcricinfo|date=18 June 2017|access-date=20 June 2017|first=Andrew Fidel|last=Fernando}}
