5 reasons why Pakistan can win the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy

#1 Sarfraz Ahmed: A level headed captain

Sarfraz Ahmed

Sarfraz Ahmed, the wicket-keeper/batsman from Karachi, has time and again showed that he can be an asset to his side courtesy his unruffled mindset towards the game. Quite a few times, he has dragged Pakistan from precarious positions with the help of gutsy knocks.

In 2016, he was handed the leadership mantle of the T20 side and he has lived up to the expectations. After his consistent shows, he was recently appointed as skipper to take charge of Pakistan’s One Day team.

While Pakistan are the favourites to win the Champions Trophy, it’s a great opportunity for Sarfraz and co. to step up to the plate with jaw-dropping performances and upset opposition sides.
