The stage is set for the final countdown. The two finalists of the Champions trophy 2017 have been revealed and as many fans were hoping for, it is the arch rivals India and Pakistan who will play against one another in the battlefield of the Oval in London.
On June 18, all streets of India and Pakistan will be empty as the most awaited match of the decade will be played at 3:00 PM (IST). The best part here is that weather gods will remain far away from the game and fans will enjoy a full-fledged match as the titans clash. However, there may be a possibility of isolated thunderstorm activity.

Both the teams are high on confidence by snatching away a one-sided game from England and Bangladesh. India, however, does have an upper hand since Pakistan usually is on the losing side against India in ICC tournaments. India and Pakistan are meeting each other for the first time in an ICC 50-over final.
However, India will remain under pressure as the Pakistan team has a fresh batch of players who are exuberating confidence. They have been able to win a few great matches, the one against England is proof for that.
Ten years ago, India and Pakistan had clashed against one another in an ICC final and Gambhir’s knock of 77 helped India sail through wherein MS Dhoni lifted his first ICC Champions Trophy. Ten years later, here we are. The only difference here is that it is the Mini World Cup and the captain has been replaced.
We hope that the combnation of the aggressive Virat Kohli and the ex captain cool’s calm will help India lift the mini world cup.
