Shreyas Iyer on Sunday termed India's six-wicket victory over Pakistan in the Champions Trophy as "sweet" because it came against a competitive team and involved warding off a lot of "external pressures." India have practically sealed a semifinal berth in the ICC showpiece with this win, and Iyer also played a handy role in it with a well-timed 56 off 67 balls.

"I haven't played that many matches in Pakistan, so I don't know exactly how it would have felt. But it's a neutral venue and it's a challenge for both the teams. But any victory against Pakistan is sweet because they are always competitive," Iyer told reporters in the post-match press conference.
