 New Zealand are the dark horses of the ICC Champions Trophy 2004 cricket mini world cup in England

The New Zealand cricket team  may yet win the ICC Champions Trophy 2004- gamecricket.com's statistical analysis of the one-on-one confrontation between batsmen and bowlers of the various teams tells us that New Zealand have a very good chance of upsetting the apple-cart by winning the ICC  Champions trophy

England ,India  and Pakistan have a reasonable chance of winning the ICC Champions Trophy 2004 cricket mini world cup in England

The England , Indian and Pakistan cricket teams have a reasonable chance of winning the ICC Champions trophy mini world cup. Of these, the Pakistan cricket team has the most talent, the Indian cricket team is the best organized and the England cricket team is the most underrated (except by the English!)

The amazing part of the England cricket team for the ICC Champions Trophy is their strategy during the first 15 overs- the England cricket team never seems to score more than 75 runs in the first 15 overs even if the wickets are intact. A really good strategy could be to promote Flintoff to the opening slot in the ICC Champions Trophy as he is a true match-winner and a quickfire 100 from him will guarantee a win for the England cricket team.

Among the ICC Champions Trophy 2004 mini world cup teams,India have the best batting lineup but they seem to hurt their own chances by their recent strategies such as asking Sachin to bat through the innings and promoting Ganguly to the number 3 slot. Ganguly is among the best players of slow bowling in the ICC Champions trophy but he seems determined to make a fool of himself by coming in the number 3 slot.

Its high time Shoaib Akhtar grabbed a five wicket haul and prove that he is the best fast bowler in the world and the ICC Champions trophy is a great occasion for him. The ICC Champions Trophy 2004 mini world cup cricket is also a great chance for Youhana - whose nonchalant batting reminds one of Carl Hooper,one of the greatest West Indians to don the batting gloves.

The Kookaburra balls and the MRF bats are ready as the mini-world cup in the form of the ICC Champions Trophy 2004 mini world cup cricket is set to begin!
