With both teams winless after two games apiece, Pakistan vs Bangladesh boils down to one thing only: pride. The Shaheens aren’t just the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 hosts – they entered the tournament ranked No.3, but are now in danger of ducking out without so much as a whimper.
They have, at least, posted higher totals than Bangladesh have managed so far. The Tigers’ batting has been beset by poor decisions that have really let down their bowlers, particularly Rishad Hossain, one of the tournament’s top wicket-takers.
The weather in Rawalpindi, however, has been dreadful all week, and the rain hasn’t let up since the Australia vs South Africa washout on Tuesday. Fingers crossed we get to see some action.
The game takes place on Thursday, February 27 at 9am GMT / 2pm PKT / 4am ET.
