Only the best of the best teams make the cut to participate in what is also known as the mini-World Cup. The ODI tournament started in 1998 and has seen teams dominate over their opponents.
Here we’ll glance at the most successful teams in Champions Trophy history.
9. Bangladesh | 2 Wins
Bangladesh have made it to the Champion Trophy only five times. And their record is also petty, winning only two matches out of their 12 appearances.
Bangladesh beat Zimbabwe by 101 runs in 2006 and New Zealand by five wickets in 2017.
8. Pakistan | 11 Wins
Pakistan have had a top-turvy ride in Champions Trophy history, bowing out early from the first edition to winning the title in 2017. They defeated archrivals India in the final of the eighth edition.
Since the inaugural tournament, Pakistan have managed to win 11 matches out of their 24 appearances.
7. South Africa | 12 Wins
South Africa are known as ‘chokers’ when it comes to ICC tournaments. But they were the inaugural winners of the Champions Trophy back in 1998.
This is the only major ICC event the Proteas have managed to win thus far. They have featured in 24 matches in this tournament, registering victories in 12 of them.
6. New Zealand | 12 Wins
Just like South Africa, New Zealand have been pretty unlucky in ICC events, falling short of winning ODI World Cups and T20 World Cups on several occasions. But it’s a completely different story in the Champions Trophy.
The Kiwis managed to win the competition in the second edition, ending their ICC trophy drought. In all, New Zealand have logged 12 wins out of 24 matches.
5. Australia | 12 Wins
There is no other that has dominated ICC events quite like Australia. The Aussies are one of the two teams to win the Champions Trophy twice.
But it wasn’t a smooth ride all along. Their tournament journey was quite shaky, getting knocked out from the first two editions after playing one game each.
But Australia showcased their brilliance under Ricky Ponting’s captaincy, winning the trophy in back-to-back editions in 2006 and 2009. Overall, they have won half of their 24 matches, commanding a win percentage of 50.
4. West Indies | 13 Wins
The West Indies couldn’t qualify for the 2017 and the upcoming 2025 champions trophy editions. But once they were a dominating force in world cricket.
The Caribbean side showcased their might in the Champions Trophy between 1998 and 2013. The Men in Maroon won 13 matches out of 24, registering a win percentage of 54.17.
They also entered the finals of the tournament three times, managing to lay their hands on the trophy in 2004.
