Champions Trophy 2025: The picture of all the 8 teams that will qualify for the Champions Trophy 2025 to be hosted by Pakistan has become clear after the last league match between India and Netherlands World Cup 2023. Hosts Pakistan along with India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Afghanistan, England and Bangladesh have qualified for the tournament. While Sri Lanka and Netherlands teams are out. In fact, the ICC announced that the teams that qualify for the Champions Trophy 2025 will be decided based on the World Cup 2023 points table. Apart from the hosts Pakistan, the top-7 teams of the tournament were to get the ticket to the Champions Trophy.
Why are Sri Lanka and Netherlands out?
The performance of the 1996 World Cup champion team Sri Lanka was very poor in this World Cup. Troubled by player injuries, this team has won only 2 out of 9 matches in this ongoing tournament in India. They had one win against the Netherlands and the other against defending champions England. Apart from this, he lost all 7 matches by a wide margin. This is the reason why the team is at the 9th position in the World Cup 2023 points table with 4 points. Bangladesh, who qualified for the Champions Trophy, also had only 4 points in their account, but their net run rate was better than Sri Lanka.
Apart from this, Netherlands performed better than expected in World Cup 2023. The team created a major upset by defeating South Africa, while their second win was against Bangladesh. Netherlands also missed out on qualifying due to net run rate. Bangladesh’s net run rate was -1.087, while Sri Lanka’s and Netherlands’ were -1.419 and -1.825 respectively.
