the Sky Sports Pundits Name the favorite of the championship, and how they expect England to do, and choose the players who are looking to see it in particular in the coming weeks.

Every game you live Sky Sports With England – she is looking to recover from a defeat round in India – in the face of the depleted Australian team in their opening match in Lahore on Saturday, February 22nd.

Winners

Nasser Hussein: I did something for the International Criminal Court about six weeks ago, and I had Australia as a favorite, but I brought out five players from this team – Mitchell Stark, Pat Kameins, Josh Hazliowood, Pat Camens and Marcus Stoyens – this is a serious loss.

They have returned to the package a little and I have now India As the team that must be overcome, although it may be the best player on this planet now in Gasbert Pumra.

If you look at the beating reserves and the rotation section, the way they played against England recently and the way they play in general in the dual cricket game, it looks strong.

They play all their games in Dubai, know the conditions and will not have to travel. On paper, they are the best team now.

Michael Atheon: Like Nasser, I think India To be headquartered in Dubai, it helps them widely.

It seems that the rotation seems to be a truly strong point in their game in the absence of Pomara – I am also not sure Pakistan.

But you also look deeply. If they can leave a player like Yashasvi Jaiswal, who may get any other team in the world, this shows the amount of talents they have.

Saying that some of their fighters did not shoot exactly on all cylinders – Firat Cole, and even a hundred against England, Rohit Sharma. But they just beat England 3-0, and if you look at their record in the past two years, they were very strong.

For me, they start as clear preferences, but New Zealand may have a challenge of their challenge. They played a lot of cricket game in Pakistan running to a decent form, while they have a lot of fireworks, experience and very smart turn in Captain Mitchell Santon.

I also love South Africa. When they get their best team – which they could always do – they are somewhat enormous.

How will you do England?

supporter: I think England will slightly bleed from India’s tour, but not only. It was not great in the white cricket game since it won the 2022 T20 World Cup.

At that point, they held the World Cup titles at the same time, but now they both lost and hit the last four -dural Odi series.

However, I think they will increase them in Pakistan because the share there are generally flat that suit their style of play.

It is a place where you need the fighters who go hard, and the rotation of a wrist – and they have one of the best in Adel Rashid – and they rush to the ball through the air. Their intermediate attack can be useful, although it is not related to speed, it is also related to skill.

They just need to make sure they bear more with bats. The aspects that win the matches score hundreds of large hundreds of Australia in the World Cup final, Shopman Jill and Rohit for India against England recently. The sixties are good but don’t win you.

If you come out after PowerPlay, you are exposing your middle order to spin until the likes of Ben Duckett, Joe Root and Tom Banton need to bats.

Australia’s infection crisis helps try to get out of the group. This first game is a chance now, and if they can win this one, it enhances confidence and will see the India tour as part of the clouds.

If they lose that, they have Afghanistan – who have excellent spinning and fighters – and South Africa, both of which were lost to him in the 2023 World Cup, then it becomes difficult.

If England played its potential, which they did not do for a while, I think they can get out of the group. But I am not sure that they are able to win it, although the short nature of this tournament means that everyone is a competitor.

Air: I think England will struggle to get out of their group. Australia is now more vulnerable to apostasy than it had done with all its injuries, but South Africa and Afghanistan matches are very difficult.

You will reach England to the semi -finals, given the way they played and the recent results, but I am not sure of that.

It will be a high -grade competition in Pakistan on good stadiums – in the last triple series between Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa, most grades were more than 300.

You need players to form hundreds and England have not done so recently, while many players who have reached centuries have no longer involved, including Dawid Malaan.

They did not choose to rotate well in India, although this may have a lower result in Pakistan, and it seemed that the bullie is a little dimensional at times until they do a good job to get out of the group.

Raed Al -Khentit and Running Hard?

supporter: I say that India will win it and thus play most games, so I will choose Arshadib Singh As driving servants. He has only played the ODIS so far, but it is the top of T20 T20 T2Teater International Taker and can be shrouded at the beginning and end of the roles.

To run scorer, I will say generation. Rohit loves the events of Champions Trophy and ICC in general, but a generation in the form of its life in this format.

The Rohit shape has diminished in the cricket test recently against New Zealand and Australia, and its climax in leaving himself from this coordination during the winter season.

I feel almost as it was as his mountain went up, to be honest. Within a year, the World Cup final lost 50 and then won the World Cup final 20 from the loser center.

It is possible that the rise and landing in being a player in India and the captain of the team have affected his game in the red cricket game, but not white cricket, and he looks somewhere to his best, adding to the power of India.

Air: I will go to South Africa Heinrich Klaasen As a leadership arrival as it is in a hot form. Perhaps you should go to an openness or someone in the first three places, but he is a first -class short player and must get a lot of opportunities.

For Picett Chic, I would have said that England Sapiner Adele Rashid, who is in fact the master of his craft now, but since I have doubts about them in making the semi -finals, I will go to India Coldep Yadaf.

I love watching a bowl. It is a truly attacked dizziness with a lot of diversity and plays in part of the world that will help to rotate more.

And another player looking to see him?

supporter: Pakistan Fakhar Zaman. I think it can illuminate the championship.

I did not see him for a while because he was entering and outside, but he scored that hundred in the 2017 Champions Cup final against India in The OVAL

He is a dynamic launch maker at the top of the request. Perhaps someone has recently missed his team, and since he returned to that, he got some running.

Pakistan hosts a global event for the International Criminal Court for the first time since 1996 and this is a big thing for them. If the team has to play well, I think a pottery may have to get them out of a pilot. Abar Otal and Muhammad Rizouan can play around him.

Air: I would like to say generation India.

He is a very elegant player at the top of the request, and as people say, he is in excellent condition, where he scored more than 250 race in the ODI series against England with two of the fifties and then a hundred in the final match.

For Pakistan, hosting the first global event for the International Criminal Court in nearly 30 years, will cast a safe and successful championship on the international cricket game in the country after a long absence.

There is a great passion for the game there and it is a huge opportunity for Pakistan.
