The Australian side, known for its dominance in ODI cricket, remains the only team to have won back-to-back Champions Trophy titles, securing victories in 2006 and 2009. However, the team faced early exits in the last two editions (2013 and 2017) due to unfavorable weather conditions and underwhelming performances.
