Every Term Is Possible

Australia batting possess more power than any other team you name them Steve Smith, Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Inglis they can win you games from the scratch but the main problem rises on the concern of their bowling where there is nothing to say much about their main players like Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazelwood, Pat Cummins are out of tournament leaving Adam Zampa the recogonised bowler in the team who had to lead the bowling side.

Australia is currently full of confidence following its dominant victory. However, the ODI series will be played without four key players. Sri Lanka has had an excellent home record over the last year. They've won every match in the bilateral series since last year and are at present on a 10-game winning streak. Overall, the battle will be fair between the two sides. However, the addition of Travis Head and the present form of Alex Carey offer Australia an advantage. Considering the team combination, Sri Lanka is expected to win this match.

Australian team gave a heartwarming guard of honour to Sri Lankan cricketing star Dimuth Karunaratne as he walked out to bat in his 100th and final Test match. It was beautiful respect and admiration for this cricketing star from the cricketers around from the world.

A Tribute Fit for a Legend
Karunaratne has been a rock for over a decade at the top of Sri Lanka's batting lineup, and playing 100 Test matches is something that only a few cricketers achieve in their careers. Therefore, retirement at this peak moment makes it all the more special.
For the final time as a cricketer, the Australians prepared their formation, where one after the other stepped up and handed Karunaratne the honour guard before the crease while they were all clapping at him. The action demonstrated pure sportsmanship apart from Australia.Coming generations will speak about Karunaratne contributed to cricketing.

A Lasting Legacy
Karunaratne has been one of Sri Lanka's most dependable openers who has guided the team through difficult matches and led by example with his composure and leadership. Many match winning performances have came from him as one of Sri Lanka's greatest cricketers.
Even though he is handing over his cricket in Test cricket to the next stars, the impact he has made for Sri Lanka Cricket will last for years.

1. India – Whiteball Cricket Powerhouse

India has been one of the most dominant white-ball teams of the last couple of years. An excellent balance within the squad, featuring world-class batsmen, all-rounders, and an exceptional bowling unit makes them a top contender in the Champions Trophy final.

Why India Could Reach the Final?
Strong Batting Line-up: India includes top ODI players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, coupled with young stalwarts like Shubman Gill. Their penchant for chasing humongous scores makes them an ominous side to face.
World Class Bowlers: With the best bowling attack during the tournament which includes Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Ravindra Jadeja in their ranks.
Recent Form: India is the favorite to enter the final since they have had a consistent show in ICC competitions and bilateral games.

Cricket experts like Monty Panesar have already given their verdicts that India would be able to win the whole tournament as India is well-balanced in batting as well as in bowling.

2. Australia – The Specialists for Champions Trophy

Australia tends to do much better in any ICC tournament than in others. They have secured several World Cups and have conquered the Champions Trophy thrice - in 2006, 2009, and 2025.

Why Australia Can Finally Reach the Final?
 Big-Match Experience: They tend to excel in major tournaments. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and David Warner are some good examples of people who have sufficient experience in a knockout game.
Aggressive Cricketing Mindset - The Australian side plays fearless cricket, which gives them a challenging task to get past in critical matches.
Squad Depth: With a balance of young players and veterans, Australia has a depth to go through the series by rotating a few players all along.

Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton have favored Australia and India as their top two choices for the Champions Trophy 2025 final, predicting that they might go through a repeat of their recent battles in the ICC tournament.

3. Pakistan – The Host Team

Pakistan, the current host of the tournament, is also in the running for the final. Pakistan had won the Champions Trophy back in 2017 and will come hard to win it again at home.

Why Pakistan Can Win the Final?
Familiar Playing Conditions: Pakistan players are accustomed to the pitches in Pakistan and Dubai, which gives them a huge gain over visiting teams.

World-Class Bowling Attack: With the likes of Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah, Pakistan can boast one of the most fatal fast-bowling attacks seen in world cricket.

Passionate Home Crowd: Playing in front of home supports will increase their confidence and increase energy levels. 
Legendary Cricket Player Sunil Gavaskar has mentioned that Pakistan should be favorites in the tournament ahead because they enjoy dominating home games.

4. South Africa – The Dark Horse

South Africa has a tendency to underperform in ICC events, but according to experts, 2025 can be the year of glory for them.

Why did South Africa Can Make it to the Final?
 Formed Players: South African batsmen such as Quinton de Kock, Heinrich Klaasen, and Aiden Markram have been in great form in recent ODIs.

 Strong Bowling Unit: The South African unit has a scary fast-bowling attack through Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje that would trouble any unit.

 Nothing to Lose Mentality: With lesser expectations than India and Australia, the South African cricket team can go out there playing fearless cricket, and nobody sees it coming.

Former England cricketer Michael Atherton has felt that South Africa should have a strong chance to enter the final of the tournament, provided they clear their mental barriers in the ICC tournaments.

Possible Champions Trophy 2025 Final Match:

India vs Australia (Highly Likely)
