The last match of the Champions Trophy league is being played between India and New Zealand. This match is being played in Dubai. But apart from these two teams, two more teams have reached Dubai.
Apart from India and New Zealand, teams from Australia and South Africa have also reached Dubai.
Australia and South Africa, the top two teams in Group B, are now practicing in Dubai. It is rare in a major tournament that teams reaching the final four do not have complete information about their next match. For this reason, all the teams have reached one place. This scenario has created differences of opinion among former and current players in the cricket world and the International Cricket Council (ICC) will also have to take effective measures to avoid such a situation in future.
Both teams will keep an eye on the result of India and New Zealand
Australia flew from Karachi to Dubai late Friday night after confirming their place in the last four after their match against Afghanistan was washed out due to rain. South Africa beat England by seven wickets to take their points tally to five and boarded a flight to Dubai, topping Group B. Who among them will stay in Dubai will depend on the result of India’s match against New Zealand on Sunday.
See the whole equation, who will play in Dubai and who will have to return to Pakistan
If India wins against New Zealand, it will top Group A and will face Group B second-placed team Australia in the first semi-final here on Tuesday.
will return to Pakistan to play the second semi-final in Lahore.
A source related to this matter said that this situation is not good at all. But still the program happens like this.
Rain in Rawalpindi made the situation worse as those two teams were really affected by it. Another aspect of this is that the team playing the match in Dubai is getting an extra day to test the conditions.
