Bet on the ICC Champions Trophy with Nagad88

The ICC Champions Trophy is a One Day International tournament for the best men’s national teams, run by the International Cricket Council. It started in 1998 in Bangladesh as the ICC KnockOut Trophy, with the final in Dhaka, and has been called the Champions Trophy since 2002. The format is short: a group stage and then knockout matches, so one bad day can end a team’s campaign. The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy was the ninth edition, and India won it for a record third time.

Tournament details:

The ICC Champions Trophy is a One Day International (ODI) tournament organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Its ninth edition ran from 19 February to 9 March 2025, with Pakistan as host. It was the first global tournament in Pakistan since the 1996 Cricket World Cup, although India played all of its matches in Dubai. Eight teams took part: Pakistan, India, Australia, England, New Zealand, South Africa, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, who made their debut in the event. Pakistan qualified as host, and the other seven were the best-placed teams from the group stage of the previous ODI World Cup.

The teams were split into two groups of four. Group A had India, New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and Group B had South Africa, Australia, Afghanistan and England. Each team played the others in its group once, and the top two went through to the semi-finals. Rain hit Rawalpindi hard, and two group games there, including Bangladesh against Pakistan, were abandoned without a ball bowled.

In the semi-finals, India beat Australia by 4 wickets in Dubai and New Zealand beat South Africa by 50 runs in Lahore. The final was played in Dubai on 9 March 2025: India chased 252 and beat New Zealand by 4 wickets to become the first team to win the title three times. The ICC paid USD 2.24 million to the winner, USD 1.12 million to the runner-up and USD 560,000 to each losing semi-finalist, from a total prize pool of USD 6.9 million. New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra was player of the tournament and top run-scorer with 263 runs, and his teammate Matt Henry took the most wickets (10).

In Bangladesh, ICC Champions Trophy matches are shown by the TV channels and streaming services that hold the ICC rights for that edition, and the partners are announced before the tournament starts. A video stream inside the Nagad88 sportsbook, where it is offered, depends on the match and is not guaranteed. What the sportsbook does show during play is live odds, scores and match statistics, so you can watch the official broadcast and follow the in-play markets at the same time.

For a short ODI tournament like the ICC Champions Trophy, Nagad88’s cricket markets cover single matches as well as the whole event. Markets range from the match result to player performances and in-play events such as the next ball.

Good ICC Champions Trophy bets start with homework. Team form, pitch conditions and player statistics tell you more than a team’s reputation, and once play starts the live odds and match statistics in the Nagad88 sportsbook help you react. Some tips to keep in mind:

• Check recent form, head-to-head records and injury news before you bet.
• Consider the venue and the weather. Pitches differ from ground to ground, and rain washed out two games in Rawalpindi at the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
• Use live betting when the match turns, for example after early wickets.
• Set a budget for the whole tournament and do not chase losses.
• Read the bonus rules before you use one: exchange bets and odds below 1.5 do not count towards the turnover.
