So let us tell you 3 teams which can prove to be underdogs in the Champions Trophy.

3. New Zealand

The New Zealand cricket team is rarely considered a strong contender in the biggest ICC tournaments. This team has left a special impression with its performance in many big tournaments in recent times without any noise. Once again no one is considering the Black Caps in the list of contenders for the Champions Trophy. But this team full of underrated stars has the ability to hunt any big team. The New Zealand team may prove to be the underdog in the Champions Trophy this time too.

1. Afghanistan

Asia's new sensation Afghanistan cricket team, which is moving forward rapidly in world cricket, has qualified for the Champions Trophy. This team has impressed a lot with its play in the last few years. Now big teams are wary of this blue jersey team, because the Afghan team has the power to make anyone its victim at any time. In such a situation, Afghanistan is also being considered an underdog in the Champions Trophy, because this team had done well in the 2023 ODI World Cup and 2024 T20 World Cup and was successful in defeating many big teams.
