India started its first home champion tournament as one of the favorites, but were quickly eliminated, losing two of their three group games. The other two teams of southern Asia – Pakistan and Sri Lanka – also failed to make progress.
The Crown control Committee in India (BCCI) and ICC were seemingly in Loggerheads in the birth of the tournament, and the then Vice President of BCCI Lalit Modi criticized the marketing and schedule of the ICC tournament.
Pakistan and India were confusingly separated, once again, in the group stage.

Finally: England against India
Winner: India – up to five rides

The champion trophy was supposed to be done empty in 2009, but the ICC brought it back to life after the playoffs were scheduled for 2013 due to a broadcasting and sponsorship problem.
The competition returned, as well as the conflict between India-Pakistan. The match failed to meet the expectations, as the Pakistani meek efforts were rejected by 165 in 40 additives.
Economic Tempo Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and Swing Bowling, combined with Spin Ravandra Jadeja and Ravicharndran’s attack, have left Pakistani kicks unhappy. Lighting the Indian captain of Mrs. Dhoni, he even threw the ball to Virat Kohli to a few crosses from his wrong leg bowling. India has persecuted the goal in less than 20 supplements in front of the tumultuous audience of Edgbaston.
The organizers were repaid for the hectic edition of the tournament when the hosts of England and World Champions of India met in the finals.
However, the British time played Sillosport and the match was reduced to 20 additions. Kohli, at the height of his career with a limited path, scored 43 runs of 34 balls, while India released 129.

Group B’s largest knot saw India up to 124 victories over Pakistan Ahmed Sarfarase, whose hit line collapsed to 164 all in 41 additions. However, with a little help of rain in the victory over South Africa, and their rivals of India, who also defeated South Africa, Pakistan qualified for the semifinals.
As is often the case with Pakistan to Global Events, the team has maximally used his new lease in the tournament and overthrew the favorites in England with eight hickkets. And India moved to a big victory over Bangladesh to set the finals of dreams for organizers, fans, emitters and sponsors.
The Fakhar Zaman opener, who made his debut in Pakistan 11 days earlier, was dropped from Jasprit Bumrah without a ball and continued to achieve 114 runs of 106 balls to help Pakistan set a target of 339.
The Indian chase was run by the opener of Mohammad Amir, who rejected Rohit Sharma and Kohli in his first two additives.
