2013 ICC Champions Trophy: India's Favourites

8 great nations are playing in the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 in England. Semifinals are almost set with one remaining for Group A in which if Sri Lanka beats Australia, they will move into the Semis otherwise New Zealand will play the semifinal.

In Group B, India played brilliantly and won all 3 games against South Africa, West Indies and Pakistan. They are into the Semis wihtout any doubt. South Africa became the second team to reach into the Semis after India when they won a rain affected match from West Indies. the match was quite close and it was completely balanced but fate didn't help West Indies. In another rain-affected match, India beats Pakistan. Pakistan is the only team without any point in 2013 ICC Champions Trophy.

Semifinals will held on 19th and 20th Jun. South Africa will play the first one while India will play the second semifinal. Other 2 teams are yet to discovered which depends on 17th Jun match between Australia and Sri Lanka. Australia has not won any match just like Pakistan but they have a point due to rain affected match.

The final is scheduled on 23rd Jun 2013.
