Pak team is not favorite team to win champions trophy because many players are facing trouble to play against bowlers . As we saw last match in which Pak team could not make good target in this match and that team all out by making only 242 runs in this match. Indian International cricket team is very strong and Pak team has to face Indian team to win this tournament and that is very tough for Pakistan team because that team has many referenced players and players have no performance but they are part of team and they are damaging the performance of Pak team.Australia International team, New Zealand team and Indian team are favorite for this tournament because these teams have best players and they are ready to win this tournament.
Even in the previous post on the ODI discussion thread I said about I am hoping to see win the New Zealand team and really there is a high probability of wining the New Zealand team as because of the good performance in the recent tri-nation series and also they beat the Pakistani team as well. So expecting win from them is natural right now.
But we have to also keep in this mind that Pakistan team was the winner of the previous Champions Trophy 2017 they beat the indian team on final match by a very big margin 180 run, Pakistan took 338 run on the final match that was remarkable, we if we took them that lightly that not going to be very good as well .
New Zealand's first match against Pakistan will be very competitive, especially as Pakistan will try to avenge their defeat to New Zealand in the previous matches in the first match of the Champions Trophy. Although Pakistan has lost the previous matches due to the failures of the top order, if they make some changes in the top order in this match, then maybe Pakistan will definitely win the first match. However, Pakistan's fast bowlers are not getting much benefit, which is why New Zealand is getting a chance to score a lot of runs towards the end.
