Former Indian captain Ravi Shastri has made his prediction about the teams that could reach the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Speaking on ICC Review, Shastri said, “I believe the final will be played between India and Australia, as both teams have consistently performed brilliantly in big events. Looking at their past performances, I see these two teams making it to the final.”
He went on to talk about the potential semi-final matchups, saying, “In the semi-finals, South Africa and England could be the teams facing off against each other.”
Although Shastri predicted a semi-final between South Africa and England, it’s not possible as both teams are in the same group.
Shastri excluded Pakistan from his predicted list for the final and semi-finals.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will start on February 19, with hosts and defending champions Pakistan facing New Zealand at the National Stadium in Karachi.
