DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Feb 23, (AP): Virat Kohli’s 100 not out led India to a six-wicket win over arch-rival Pakistan in their Group A clash at the Champions Trophy on Sunday, 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. Shreyas Iyer scored 56 off 67 balls as he and Kohli put on 114 runs off 128 balls for the third wicket.

Earlier, 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 and shared a 104-run stand with skipper Mohammad Rizwan (46).

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.
