The highly anticipated ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match between Pakistan and Bangladesh was abandoned due to heavy rain in Rawalpindi. Both teams, already eliminated from the semi-final race after losses to India and New Zealand, were hoping to finish strong, but instead, they each receive one point.
Pakistan’s Disappointing Campaign at ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Pakistan’s tournament has been challenging. The hosts faced a tough start, losing by 60 runs to New Zealand in the opening match in Karachi. This was followed by a six-wicket defeat to India in Dubai, effectively ending their chances of advancing to the semi-finals. Despite a valiant effort, Pakistan could not recover from these setbacks and will now have to settle for a point from today’s abandoned match.
Bangladesh’s Struggles in ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Like Pakistan, Bangladesh has had a difficult journey in the Tournament. They were defeated by India by six wickets in their opening match. Their hopes were further dashed after a five-wicket loss to New Zealand. With both India and New Zealand securing semi-final spots, Bangladesh’s elimination became inevitable. Their match against Pakistan in Rawalpindi would have been a consolation, but rain has disrupted their final attempt to end on a high.
Match Abandoned: One Point Each for Pakistan and Bangladesh
Rain in Rawalpindi brought an early end to match between Pakistan & Bangladesh, meaning both teams will share one point each. This outcome doesn’t impact their position in the tournament, as both sides were already out of contention for the semi-finals.
