Even England is hosting the series I don't think that England have tendency to win the big tournament as even in the last Champions Trophy England had higher chance to win against India and total was not too big even though they lost the match at the final stage so I think India has a bigger chance to win and also Aussies and SA are the biggest contenders to grab the trophy and apart from this teams I don't see anyone else lifting the trophy this year.

India will surely want to carry their winning form in regular matches too and it was good to see Kohli and Dhoni back in form but its really hard to judge what will be the end result as India has lost couple of times to weaker teams and I am sure they will never want to repeat that history in Champions Trophy as its very short tournament so there is no room for any mistakes.

Bangladesh have tendency to create an major upset and that we have seen in the past as they have won almost all big teams so may be we can witness upset in one of the games and if that happens then it will make the series more exciting and in that case if you have put your money on Bangladesh then you will be making good money from it.

Yeah the bets of Bangladesh are now not so high as it used to be in the past and they are performing consistently which makes them even a favorite team to enter the semis of Champions trophy and who knows even Bangladesh may lift the champions trophy this time.

SL is not in a good touch so NZ has an advantage and they can win this match very easily but it will be interesting to see what will be the result of India vs Bangladesh match as Bangladesh is performing really well at a moment and have scored 340 runs against pakistan so they will prefer to carry the same form in today's game too.

SL has been playing quite well going by their last match as they challenged Australia till the last over. While NZ lost their previous match with India and among the other teams, they are a weakest and after them comes Pakistan.

With regards to India, they have always been struggling with their openers and once again the two wickets fell in the first 10 overs. It can happen once or twice but this is their usual start and will continue to happen if they don't work hard and chose the right players. They definitely have an upper hand on Bangladesh while SL will win their game against NZ.

in fact India have very strong batting line, they can even make more that 300 runs in a single inning. but i think Bangladesh have also improved their cricket too much and even they can give tough time to India, specially their few batsmen are superb, if shaqib is there and few more. as Indian bowling never remain as good in history.

Anyone knows why west indies are not included in the champions trophy? They were also one time champions and the matches without them would not be much interesting.

Bangladesh has a better ranking in one day internationals of ICC than West Indies and it looks like they'll get all out for less than 100 today. Hope they'll not be over confident in the league matches.
