Reigning champions India are on the brink of becoming the first back-to-back winners of the Champion’s Trophy when they take on bitter rivals Pakistan at the Oval. Virat Kohli’s men opened their Champion’s Trophy defence with an emphatic win over a lacklustre Pakistan side who have defied the odds to reach the final. Pakistan upset hosts and pre-tournament favourites England in the semi-final to set up a second clash between the two sides in the tournament. India will also be motivated by the fact that a win in Sunday’s showpiece will see them overtake South Africa as the World’s leading one-day team, to go alongside their number one ranked Test status.

India vs Pakistan Prediction

India will enter the match as overwhelming favourites and it has only been their surprising defeat at the hands of a resilient Sri Lanka side that has put a blemish on their otherwise perfect record so far in the competition. They were sloppy for the first 25 overs of their semi-final against Bangladesh but fought back with the ball and dominated with the bat. Pakistan meanwhile have been essentially playing knockout cricket since the second match and it has brought out the best in them. They are and have always been one of the most unpredictable teams going into any tournament, but they have proven time and time again that it would be foolish to write them off. They have captured the hearts of the impartial fans and will undoubtedly be a crowd favourite when the first ball is bowled at the Oval on Sunday.

• Shoab Malik leading Pakistan batsman – 6.00
• Rohit Sharma leading Indian batsman – 4.00
