Ricky Ponting Backs India and Australia as Favorites for ICC Champions Trophy Final

The ICC Champions Trophy is set to return in 2025, and Ricky Ponting has already placed his bets. The former Australian captain believes India and Australia are the frontrunners to compete for the coveted title, citing their player quality and track record in major tournaments.

Why India and Australia Stand Out

Ponting’s reasoning isn’t hard to understand. These two teams have consistently delivered on the big stage, especially in ICC tournaments. Australia’s dominance in world cricket is well-documented, and India’s recent performances make them a force to be reckoned with.

“The quality of players in both countries right now is incredible,” Ponting told the ICC Review. “When these big finals and ICC events come around, Australia and India are always in the mix.”

His words aren’t just predictions—they’re backed by history. India and Australia are the only teams to have won the Champions Trophy twice. India lifted the trophy in 2013 and shared the title with Sri Lanka in 2002 after the final was washed out. Australia, on the other hand, won back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2009.

Ricky Ponting ICC Champions Trophy

A Closer Look at Recent History

India and Australia have been headline-makers in global cricket over the last few years. The 2023 ODI World Cup final was a testament to that, with Australia clinching the title in a hard-fought battle against India.

In bilateral series, the rivalry remains fierce. Australia has dominated Test cricket, but India has held its own in white-ball formats. With players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Pat Cummins, and Steve Smith still at the peak of their powers, these teams are built to perform under pressure.

It’s also worth noting how both nations have adapted to different conditions. Whether it’s spinning tracks in the subcontinent or bouncy wickets in Australia, they have the depth and versatility to succeed anywhere.

Pakistan’s Challenge as Defending Champions

While Ponting singled out India and Australia as favorites, he didn’t rule out Pakistan. The defending champions from 2017 will have the home advantage this time, with three of the four tournament venues in Pakistan.

“Pakistan will pose a strong challenge,” Ponting acknowledged. Given their unpredictability and raw talent, they could be a serious threat. Players like Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi, and Mohammad Rizwan have shown they can turn games around single-handedly.

Pakistan’s last Champions Trophy win in 2017 saw them demolish India in the final. That was a statement victory, proving they can rise to the occasion in high-pressure games.

Tournament Details and Expectations

The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will be held from February 19 to March 9, spanning multiple venues in Pakistan and one in Dubai. The decision to host part of the tournament in Dubai is likely to accommodate logistical and security concerns.

With only eight teams competing, the tournament will be packed with high-stakes encounters. The format ensures that every game matters, making for intense battles from the group stage itself.

Expect packed stadiums, electrifying atmospheres, and some of the best cricketing talent on display. If Ponting’s predictions hold, another epic India-Australia final could be on the cards. But with Pakistan looking to defend their title and other teams like England and South Africa lurking, nothing is guaranteed.

The countdown to February 2025 has officially begun.
