Some cricket analysts are making India the favorite to win the Champions Trophy final as they have a formidable batting and spinning line-up.

Those analysts may be right and I, like those experts think India is a good team for the Champions Trophy. This Champions Trophy holds a rare record, in that only one team has ever been undefeated in a match. But before that India could not play well in the ICC Champions Trophy and they could not take the trophy for them, they might have been performing many more emphasis this season. This match between India and New Zealand teams may reach a very attractive level because they can play very well. We can see that the New Zealand team's Rachin Rabindra is currently with awesome form.

Since Australia has been eliminated from the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy, there are no major obstacles for India in this year's Champions Trophy. However, the way New Zealand was able to score runs against South Africa, they will not be able to score the same runs against India in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. India is the favorite team in Dubai this time, so even though many may put New Zealand ahead, India will be the champion in Dubai this time. Another important thing is that Virat Kohli is performing quite well in this year's Champions Trophy. If these two batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma can give something to India, then New Zealand will not be able to stop India from becoming the champion this time.

Yes it may be entirely correct that there are no major obstacles for India in this year's Champions Trophy. However here we have to consider the pitches of both countries because New Zealand played the semi-final in Pakistan. So it wouldn't be correct to say that this pitch is likely to be the same. So according to our observation, the way the New Zealand cricket team scored runs against South Africa on the field in Pakistan, they may not be able to score runs like that on the Dubai field. Moreover the Virat Kohli you mentioned could only score 11 runs in a previous match against the New Zealand cricket team, maybe he won't be able to score more than that in the final match. Wink
