Champions Trophy LIVE: As per latest reports, there could be foreign abduction cases in Pakistan by ISIS. If that is not enough, and early ouster from the tournament means, that Pakistan could lose some valuable sponsors for their team. Meanwhile, ex-Pakistan women’s skipper Sana Mir raised pertinent questions over the effectiveness of local coaches in the men’s side.
Two teams have already secured their spot in the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy. The India Cricket Team & New Zealand have made it to the top 4. This means, hosts Pakistan & Bangladesh are eliminated after losing both their games.
Meanwhile, the remaining two spots are up for grabs. South Africa and Australia have the upper hand after winning their opening games. But the job is far from being done. England and Afghanistan have the power to pack a punch and will be keen to see themselves into the next stage of the tournament.
