How it happened
According to former Australia captain Michael Clarke, India and Australia would have been the finalists of the Champions Trophy but Ganguly thought that England will have a good run.
Following Ganguly's prediction, Warne immediately claimed that England won't even win their Group A match against Australia. This is how the bet was placed.
