The eight countries that will compete in the Champions Trophy 2025 will be chosen based on their league-stage standings in the current World Cup 2023, according to information released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) earlier this month. This suggests that two of the ten teams competing in the Indian tournament won't advance to the Pakistani event two years later. Six teams, including the host Pakistan, the three semifinalists from India, South Africa, and Australia, and Afghanistan in sixth place, have already confirmed their places. The rivalry between England, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands will thus determine the final two spots.
There are four league games left in World Cup 2023 over the next three days. While Sri Lanka will have to wait to find out, the other countries indicated above will have an opportunity to secure their spot in the Champions Trophy 2025.
The qualifying criteria for England, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the Netherlands for the Champions Trophy 2025 are listed below.
England : The two-time Champions Trophy runner-ups have jumped from the bottom of the standings to seventh place with their decisive victory against Netherlands. However, they have not yet verified their credentials. Furthermore, England will need more than a victory over Pakistan in their last league encounter on Saturday at Kolkata's Eden Gardens. They also need the Netherlands and Bangladesh to lose their last games. Furthermore, even in the unlikely event that they triumph, their victory margin shouldn't be sufficient to move them beyond England in the net run rate (NRR) points table.If they lose, though, England would like to maintain its lead over Sri Lanka in terms of NRR and anticipates that either Bangladesh or the Netherlands will lose their matches
Bangladesh : While the circumstances are slightly different, the Asian team faces a more difficult task than England to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the Champions Trophy in 2025. Bangladesh is ranked lower on the points table than England despite having played the same number of matches and earning comparable points (-1.142 against -0.885). Above all, they play their last match in Pune against five-time winners Australia, who are currently riding a six-match winning streak and whom they have not defeated in ODIs since 2005.
In addition to needing to do the seemingly impossible, Bangladesh's victory ought to significantly raise their NRR and maintain them in the top eight. Bangladesh must, however, make sure that their margin of defeat is small enough to drop them behind Sri Lanka in the standings while they anticipate that the Netherlands will lose their last game.
Sri Lanka : After their World Cup 2023 league games are over, the previous Champions Trophy winners—who are now behind Bangladesh and England in the standings—must decide whether to qualify. In terms of net rating points (NRR), Sri Lanka needs two of the following teams to lose by enormous margins: England, Bangladesh, and the Netherlands.
Netherlands: They are now at the bottom of the points standings with a pitiful NRR, hurt by their 160-run defeat to England in their previous game. They also need to defeat semifinal-bound India in order to accomplish a difficult objective that no other team in this World Cup has been able to do in order to attempt to win the Champions Trophy for the first time. Still, a victory will not suffice. In an attempt to advance via NRR, one of Bangladesh and England should endure a crushing defeat, although the margin of victory should be significant.
