Pakistan is the most unpredictable team when it comes to ICC tournaments. Their unpredictability is their biggest strength as they can surprise any team on any given day.

In the Champions Trophy 2017, Pakistan started off in the most bizarre fashion as they tasted defeat in their very first match against India. It seemed that they would struggle in the tournament, but to everyone's surprise, they became the champions beating India by 180 runs in the finals.

Pakistan has great depth in their bowling with Mohammad Amir leading the pace attack along with Hasan Ali, Junaid Khan and many more. In the spin department, Shadab Khan, Shoaib Malik and Mohammad Hafeez will look to control the middle overs.

The batting department looks decent with Fakhar Zaman and Azhar Ali in the opening slot while Babar Azam, Sarfraz Khan, Hafeez, and Malik will add more stability in the middle order. Allrounders like Faheem Ashraf and Imad Wasim would add more value to the team.

Pakistan has a well-balanced squad, and with their unpredictability factor, they are surely one of the dark horses in this competition.
