How To Bet?
You can bet on India’s Champions Trophy matches in a number of ways, depending on your preferences. For example, you have options if you are looking to place pre-match bets or live bets. You can also place bets on futures markets, which are markets that allow you to bet on whether India will win the tournament or not.
Let’s use Stake as an example as a reliable bookmaker with a variety of betting opportunities for you. At Stake, you can bet on India’s Champions Trophy matches before they begin with pre-match betting markets.
These include the following:

- Most sixes
- Team with top batter

- Total runs in 1st innings over 1
- Total runs in 1st innings over 2
- Batter totals

Even from an outrights standpoint, there are plenty of betting opportunities you can consider. You can bet on whether India will win the tournament or whether they will win Group A.
Other options include betting on whether India will finish with the highest innings score or whether they will reach the semi final or final. You can bet on any of these options for any other team as well if you prefer. For example, if you think Australia have a better chance of reaching the final, you can bet on that on Stake.
India Team News
Jasprit Bumrah has been ruled out of the Champions Trophy, which is a big miss for India’s chances. They will, however, have the services of Mohammad Shami, who has returned to the India fold after missing a few months due to injury.
India’s batting looks quite settled with Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer all having scored vital runs in the home series against England in the lead up to this tournament. That form and confidence will play a big part for India as this tournament progresses, particularly with conditions expected to slow down in Dubai.
India also have a large contingent of spinners including Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakravarthy, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, who will play a key role in the middle overs in Dubai.
India’s squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammad Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakaravarthy
