ICC Champions Trophy 2013 - Final Edition

There's no reason to disband CT, people overreact on a myth by saying odi's are dying. on the contrary every icc odi tournament has been a sell out.
Even bilateral odi series in india have been a sell out

Looks like 2nd time that India may have to share the title. Weather forecast is pretty gloomy, I hear.

So, we atleast got halfway. Doesnt look too good for India @ 129/7. Now we need approx 1.5 hours of gameplay for a match.

Pitch is turning a bit, I guess India will need to bring in Raina to bowl. At 55/4 for 11, All England need are 3-4 good overs, can India deny them that.

19 off 2 overs... Anybodys game...A fitting finish to the T20 World Cup finale... errr.. I mean Champions Trophy finale

So India win by 5 runs....
