India will be looking to make a strong start to their ICC Champion’s Trophy against perennial rivals Pakistan. India are the number three ranked side in one-day cricket and will be keen to impose themselves on the bottom-ranked side in the tournament. Pakistan have struggled in recent times but have always found a way to perform in major tournaments. Pakistan have experienced somewhat of a changing of the guard as of late, losing some of their most experienced players to retirement, but they will be hoping to reach the semi-final stage for the fourth time in eight previous appearances. India, on the other hand, are the joint most successful team in Champions Trophy history having won the tournament alongside Australia on two previous occasions including the 2013 edition.

India vs Pakistan prediction

Neither side will want to lose, especially to their bitter rivals, so expect a fiery atmosphere. Virat Kohli’s Indian side are obvious favourites given their form and history in the competition. Pakistan will be looking to take advantage of the typically English bowling conditions that they utilize so well. In Mohammed Amir, Wahab Riaz, and Junaid Khan, Pakistan have a trio of bowlers that can tear through even the most experienced batting lineup.

• Shikhar Dhawan to be India’s top batsman – 4.33
• Ravi Ashwin to be India’s top bowler – 4.50
• Shoaib Malik to be Pakistan’s top batsman – 6.00
