The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match between Pakistan and Bangladesh was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain in Rawalpindi. The decision to call off the match was made 90 minutes after the scheduled start time, with no toss taking place. Both teams had already been eliminated from the tournament, making this a dead rubber match played for pride.

Pakistan, the host nation, had faced significant challenges in the tournament, suffering defeats against New Zealand and India. Bangladesh also struggled, losing to India and New Zealand. The abandonment meant both teams shared a point each, but neither could achieve a win in the tournament.

The rain in Rawalpindi was relentless, mirroring the weather conditions that had disrupted another match earlier in the tournament. Despite the disappointment, both teams will reflect on their performances and look”to improve for future competitions. The focus now shifts to other matches in the Champions Trophy, with teams like India, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa vying for semi-final spots.
