Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting has made a prediction about the two teams that will reach the final of the Champions Trophy. He forecasts that Australia and India will be the finalists, but he also warned that Pakistan could pose a challenge to both teams.
In his comments on the ICC review, Ponting highlighted that both Australia and India have quality players, and their recent history and performances in ICC events make them strong contenders. He added that both teams cannot be overlooked as finalists.
Ponting also mentioned that Pakistan is currently playing some excellent cricket, with their performance in One Day International (ODI) cricket being particularly impressive. He acknowledged that making predictions about Pakistan in major tournaments can be difficult, but it appears they have improved significantly in certain areas.
