Pitch and weather conditions
The pitch at the Oval is flat, and it is expected to be a perfect paradise for batsmen. The ball will directly come on to the bat in the first half of the match, and later, it may favor the spinners.
In all probabilities, the skipper who wins the toss will decide to bat first, and they will try to put on a decent total to pressurize the opponents while chasing.

Pakistan too will not take any risk by shuffling the winning combination.
After suffering a humiliating defeat against India, the 'Men In Green' flew high like a phoenix from the ashes and came back strongly to win back-to-back games against tough competitors. Pakistan has continuously failed to beat Indian while playing in ICC tournaments, and they will try hard to rewrite the history in this Champions Trophy final match.
