Joahnnesburg: His team out of the tournament after a 22-run defeat against England, South African middle order batsman JP Duminy has predicted that Pakistan would win ICC the Champions Trophy here.
"With us now on our way to our respective homes, my tournament prediction for the final is: Australia vs Pakistan. They are looking like the form team of the tournament," he said.
Duminy said he was hugely disappointed at South Africa having failed to do well in the tournament at home.
"The disappointment levels are huge, especially coming so close on the back of the ICC World Twenty20 exit. I took that defeat very personally, but this one has really hit as a team. After all the hype of coming into the ICC Champions Trophy as the No. 1 team in the world, and then to end last in our group is hugely disappointing."
"We know we have let a lot of people down. The tournament is in our backyard and we really wanted to give the people of South Africa something to celebrate," he wrote in his column for 'Independent Online'.
