Rain plays spoilsport as Pakistan, Bangladesh end winless campaigns

Hosts, Bangla 'Tigers' go home without a victory after washout in Rawalpindi

- AGENCIES

Persistent rain in Rawalpindi washed out the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, as per the official website of the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Both sides have lost their games against India and New Zealand so far, knocking them out of contention for a semi-final spot in the tournament.

Both sides hoped to end their campaigns with a win, but instead, they received one point apiece. Hosts Pakistan have endured a Champions Trophy 2025 to forget at home. They fell short in the tournament opener in Karachi against New Zealand by 60 runs and then lost out to India by six wickets in Dubai, which virtually knocked them out of the race for the semi-finals.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, lost their first game to India. They chased down the target with six wickets to spare, but the Black Caps prevailed over them by five wickets, confirming India and New Zealand's place in the last four.
