The former India batsman and the man responsible for scripting many winning chases in ODIs and T20s, Suresh Raina, feels India would win the Champions Trophy on March 8.

India, however, will take on archrivals Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday—a match being billed as mother of all battles at the Champions Trophy.

“India are playing really well and will win the trophy on March 9. The way Shubman Gill is batting and Rohit Sharma led the team… Our spinners, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja... The performance by Mohammed Shami after the comeback following his injury... I think India vs Pakistan match is really going to be huge,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
