England.
For the host of the final edition of the Champions Trophy, it is fitting that we return to the home of cricket.
For Pakistan, they can bank on past success in global tournaments in England. (Reached the final of the 1999 World Cup, semi-finals of 2004 Champions Trophy, winners of 2010 World Twenty20).
Regarding the two venues for Pakistan's group matches, they would have only played 1 ODI at the Kennington Oval in nearly 10 years when they take the field vs. West Indies for their opening match. What a match it was however, as Pakistan roared back in the 3rd ODI vs. England in 2010 to win by 23 runs after England required 41 from 12 overs with 5 wickets in hand. At the ground for their other two group matches (vs. India & South Africa), Edgbaston, Pakistan has won 3 of their past 4. One of their 3 wins was very memorable as it was a 3 wicket victory vs. arch-rivals, India in the 2004 Champions Trophy.
With it's excellent TV coverage as well as the historic grounds with their lush green outfields and passionate fan bases for each team, England will no doubt prove to be a more than suitable host of the Champions Trophy.
