India started as the favourite both in TV newsrooms and on Twitter with anchors and people giving Pakistan absolutely no chance.
Take this tweet from a fan-page of former India cricketer Virender Sehwag.
But Pakistan had a different script in mind, which unfolded on Twitter like this:

The batsman took a moment to ponder over his bad shot to Bumrah's "shocker" and proceeded to hammer the Indian bowlers.
By now, Indians supporters were getting a bad feeling...
Pakistan set a target of 338 - but Indians were still confident.
Pakistan thrashed defending champions India in the Champions Trophy to stun the country of 1.2 billion people on Sunday.
