PAK vs BAN: The much-anticipated Pakistan vs Bangladesh clash in the Champions Trophy 2025 has been abandoned without a toss, as relentless rain in Rawalpindi played spoilsport. In what was supposed to be a final chance for both teams to salvage some pride, the weather had other plans, leaving Pakistan winless in a tournament they would rather forget.
Pakistan’s Nightmare Campaign Ends in a Damp Squib
Pakistan’s disastrous Champions Trophy run ended not with a fight, but with a washout. Having suffered a humiliating defeat to arch-rivals India, followed by another loss to New Zealand, their elimination was sealed long before this match. A chance at a consolation win against Bangladesh was washed away—both literally and figuratively.
Bangladesh Also Exit Without a Win
Bangladesh, too, had endured a disappointing campaign, failing to pose a significant threat in Group A. While they showed glimpses of resistance, they ultimately fell short against India and New Zealand, leaving them without a single win to their name.
India & New Zealand Cruise to Semi-Finals
Unlike the rain-affected Group B, where the South Africa vs Australia match was also washed out, Group A saw dominant performances from India and New Zealand, who secured unassailable leads and punched their tickets to the semi-finals.
What’s Next for Pakistan?
With Pakistan’s white-ball struggles under the spotlight, the washout only adds to the growing criticism of their cricketing structure. Calls for sweeping changes in selection, coaching, and leadership are growing louder, as fans demand a return to the glory days.
