India are 13-10 favourites with bet365 to win the Champions Trophy after topping Group A with a 44-run triumph over New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday.

The win means India will face defending ODI World Cup champions Australia at the Dubai International Stadium in the last four, while the other semi-final will feature Group B winners South Africa against New Zealand in Lahore.

Australia and South Africa are 10-3 in the outright betting, while New Zealand are the outsiders to lift the trophy at 4-1.

India finished on 249-9 on a low-scoring pitch in Dubai on Sunday as Varun Chakaravarthy starred with figures of 5-42, helping to bowl out the Black Caps for just 205.

Chakaravarthy's haul of five wickets in the competition is matched by Kuldeep Yadav and Mohammad Shami and the trio are all 9-4 to be India's top wicket-taker in the tournament.

Shubman Gill is 6-5 favourite with bet365 to be their top runscorer but was bowled out for just two against New Zealand and faces stiff competition from Shreyas Iyer, who is 2-1 and one run ahead on 150 from three innings. Virat Kohli is on 133 runs and is a 9-4 shot.
