What's new

Are Pakistan now favourites to win the Champions Trophy 2017?

Pakistani bowling makes them clear favourites - Aamir/Hassan/Junaid . Don't think Indian batting can overcome these three.

They are doing the jinx gimmick along with [MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION] you will see their true colours after the game :))
 
We are in finals guyz. Both teams have equal chance of winning unless one team is Australia of 2000's or West Indies of 80's.

50-50 for me.
 
Pakistan looking unstoppable.Thats the thing with short tourneys,its very hard to stop a team in form

I am only hoping for rain so trophy is shared :(
 
lol oscar for some of the pardosi

i just hope we win

I have seen some of these guys making fun of Pakistan's ranking and how this Indian team can beat the number 7/8 ranking team easily. And now they don't have the confidence in Indian team suddenly.

These same guys are now playing it safe so that they are not returned the favour by pakistani fans if India loses the final.

I would still say its 50-50 as most of the Indo Pak matches starts from there only.

i know you bro

you are right they are cautious and acting fake

Some Indians on PP were saying that this Indian side is the second best ODI team of all time after the Aussies of 2000s. So that's that..
 
I have been confident for the past few days. After seeing highlights of Pakistan games, now I am worried about our chances. I see Amir, Junaid and Hasan ripping our top order. Dhoni will tuck tuk rest of the innings to 240 for 7. Pak will chase it down in 45 overs.
 
I know you are waiting for the end of the match shaz,controlling yourself!

Honestly I have pure intentions, I have a rozah today as well so you can ask me anything and you will get honest answers; I am on the truth serum today. Anyhow, a final can be won by any team on a given day it depends on who handles the pressure best and as I've said may the best team win :)

Fair enough, all cricket matches are technically 50-50 as runs and wickets on that day alone counts, anything can happen .. previous scorecards don't count. But based on team strengths , skills and experience, I would say 65-35 in favor of India. Plus points for Pakistan is they have come from behind, beaten a good England side in SF and pressure is on India to retain the CT , Pakistan has​ done more than enough by getting to finals, a win is a bonus

Hardly. Pakistan are peaking at the right time and have toughened up after beating both SL and mighty England. We, on the other hand, had it easy against BD and are most likely taking Pakistan lightly after our win in the first match. This is Pakistan's match to lose. No mistake about that.
 
Jinx doesn't work.

Get over with your superstitions.
 
It is 90-10 in India's favour,however as it is an India-Pak game,anything can happen
 
To beat Saffers,SL in the group stage and then to convincingly beat England in the semifinal whom nobody had beaten until now is some achievement. Regardless of who you play in the final(BD,India), can Pakistan be counted as the favourites?

According to the bookmakers, India 66%, Pakistan 34%.

So Pakistan definitely can't be called favorites. Still, no one should be surprised if they win as 34% is not insignificant.
 
Sure, not having crossed 240 runs a single time in the tournament and playing with 3 specialist batsman ( I don't count Shoib and Hafeez specialist of anything), now we are a favorite against a high scoring (300+) team!!!
 
:))) Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, the move backfired [MENTION=113824]Nikhil_cric[/MENTION] don't think we will see a thread like this from you again :yk good effort though bud

Shaz you know i love Pakistan cricket and it's unpredictability. I have already made a thread about Pakistan being World champions next year and i will be right once again. This is like the easiest preiction to make right now :)
 
What's the purpose of digging up old thread which has no relevance as of now.
 
Why are CT threads being bumped today by the dozens?

:)) Yeah you're an even bigger fan of pak cricket then me and look at you positioning your fielders in all the places where I continue to hit boundaries, you need to be more proactive then reactive mate maybe that will help your fortunes :yk3
 
I think just like CT 17, it is Pakistan's trophy to win the WC 19. It is only a matter of keeping both your hands open and lift the trophy 2nd time for Pakistan in World Cup history.
