Good news for Pakistan cricket fans! The Champions Trophy 2025 is being held in Pakistan after a long wait of 29 years. The event, starting on February 19 at the National Stadium in Karachi, will feature the world’s top eight cricket teams.
This is a golden opportunity for Pakistan Cricket to prove its strength on the world stage, especially by successfully hosting this tournament. However, the most disappointing aspect of this event is the absence of the Indian team in Pakistan. While six major cricket teams from around the world have arrived in Pakistan to play matches, the Indian team will play all their matches in Dubai. Pakistani cricket fans wished that all the Indian team’s matches would be held in Pakistan, but this wish remains just a wish. Because the arrival of the Indian team in Pakistan could have proved to be an important step in the success of this event.
Champions Trophy 2025 Teams and Favourites:
The Champions Trophy features the world’s 8 best cricket teams, and each team will take the field with their best players. If we talk about the favourite teams, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Australia can potentially be included in the top 4 teams.
Pakistan: Pakistan has the home advantage and is also the defending champion, so a lot of expectations are attached to Pakistan.
India: The Indian team has shown great performance in ODI cricket in the last two years, and their form will play an important role in this tournament.
Afghanistan: The Afghan team looks favourite due to their recent performance and combination.
Australia: There are some questions on the Australian team, especially due to the unavailability of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis, and Mitchell Starc, but Australia is known for giving surprises in big events.
The Pakistan team has performed brilliantly at the global level, but their performance has been unpredictable, sometimes pleasing and sometimes disappointing. The successful hosting of this tournament for Pakistan will not only bring joy to the cricket fans but also raise the honour of Pakistan in international cricket.
In your opinion, who will be the winner of the Champions Trophy 2025? And which teams can make it to the top 4?
