They are the defending champions who won the tournament last time in 2013. That edition was also hosted by England where India went on to win all of their five matches to claim their second title.

They have reached the semi-finals of the competition three times in the past and are one of the strongest contenders for this year's title.

Like India, Australia are also two-time winners of the tournament. They beat the former in the finals of 2006 to win their maiden title and then three years later in 2009, they trumped South Africa in the final to record back-to-back title triumphs. This makes them the only team to have won the competition on two consecutive occasions. 2002 and 2004 editions were also successful for them as they went past the group stage to reach the semi-finals. Last time however, they got knocked out early as they failed to win a single game.

Pakistan will want to forget the 2013 Champions Trophy where they ended up losing all their three group-stage games while finishing at the bottom of their respective group standings. They faced West Indies, South Africa and India and were thrashed in every contest. The 2000, 2004 and 2009 editions were the most successful for them when they made it to the semi-finals each time.

They will be making a comeback to the CT after pipping the West Indies in the ICC ODI Rankings on the cut-off date of 30th September 2015. They last featured in the tournament in 2006 where they failed to make it to the main round. Out of the eight matches they have played in their four tournament appearances, they have seven losses and a solitary win. However, they have been very impressive in the 50-overs format at home in recent times, beating Pakistan, India and South Africa in consecutive series.
