Pakistan vs Bangladesh - Match abandoned

Pakistan and Bangladesh ended their disappointing Champions Trophy 2025 campaigns with a point each with the second successive match in Rawalpindi washed out. As on Tuesday, when the same fate befell the Australia vs South Africa game from Group B, the match was called off without even the toss taking place.

Steady rain fell all afternoon at the stadium, with no opportunity for the covers to come off at any point. The match was called off at 3.27pm local time, just under an hour-and-a-half after the scheduled start time.

This non-result was Rawalpindi's last match of the tournament. Apart from the two washouts, it also hosted New Zealand's five-wicket win over Bangladesh on February 24.

Only one match now remains in Group A, with India taking on New Zealand in Dubai on March 2. It is a contest that will determine who finishes top of the group. Both teams are already through to the semi-finals.

For the record, Bangladesh (-0.443) finished above Pakistan (-1.087) on net run-rate.

Pakistan's next assignment is a white-ball tour of New Zealand later this month, comprising five T20Is and three ODIs. Bangladesh, meanwhile, are set to host Zimbabwe for three ODIs and three T20Is.
