Team India will take the field to defend their title while Pakistan eye maiden ICC Champions Trophy title.
India’s quest for defending Champions Trophy title will be tested when they take on arch-rivals Pakistan in the final on Sunday at The Oval. Both the teams come in with massive wins in the semi-final. India sealed the final berth for the second edition on the trot after defeating Bangladesh by nine-wickets. Pakistan, on the other hand, edged out England by eight-wickets.
The defending champions will feel more relaxed when they take the field on Sunday as they have a physiological advantage over their neighbours. With the top order being among the runs, Blue Brigade will have an edge over the Sarfraz Ahmed-led side. Whereas, bowling continues to be Pakistan’s strength and they will once again rely on it to guide them to their maiden Champions Trophy title. They also have a chance to avenge their earlier defeat to Men in Blue.
