1. Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed loses toss:
India have done well chasing down targets so captain Virat Kohli opted to put his rivals in to bat first.
"We wanted to bowl first. But the toss is out of our control. Hopefully, we can post more than 300," Sarfraz said.
2. Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman is caught by Mahendra Singh Dhoni for three - off a no ball:
With his bat tucked under his arm, Fakhar begins the long walk back to the pavilion as the Indians celebrate grabbing their first wicket with only four Pakistan runs on the board.
It proved to be a costly no ball as Fakhar goes on to score his first international century before falling for 114.
3. Kohli fails to capitalise on a dropped catch on five:
The Indian captain had come into the match with an astonishing batting average of 253 runs in this year's tournament, having been dismissed only once in four matches.
His departure proved to be a bad omen for the Indians as the only other time he had been dismissed in this year's Champions Trophy - against Sri Lanka in the group stage - the holders also lost the match.
4. Amir back in the team after missing semi-final with back injury:
Amir, once vilified for his role in the 2010 Pakistan spot-fixing scandal which led to him serving a prison term in London, was at his brilliant best when he produced a devastating opening spell.
After leaving India reeling on six for two following the dismissals of Sharma and Kohli, Amir's figures read 1.4 overs, four runs, two wickets.
His transformation into a hero was complete as his final tally was six overs, two maidens, 16 runs and three wickets.
5. Hardik Pandya, India's last hope, run out for 76 after showering the ground with sixes:
Pandya came to the crease with India teetering on 54 for five after Yuvraj Singh and former captain Dhoni departed in quick succession.
India still had three wickets in hand but the deafening cheers from the Pakistan fans made clear that the end was nigh.
India lost their last four wickets for the addition of only six runs.
