The Champions Trophy 2025 clash between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Rawalpindi was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to continuous rain. This marks the second consecutive washout at this venue, following the Australia vs South Africa game earlier in the tournament.
With this result, both teams ended their campaigns with a single point each. Bangladesh (-0.443) finished ahead of Pakistan (-1.087) on net run rate.
Persistent Rain Forces Abandonment
The rain never relented throughout the afternoon, preventing any play. The match was officially called off at 3:27 PM local time, just an hour and a half after the scheduled start.
Rawalpindi hosted only one completed match in this tournament—New Zealand’s five-wicket win over Bangladesh on February 24.
Impact on Group A Standings
With only one match remaining in A—India vs New Zealand on March 2 in Dubai—the semi-finalists are already decided. The India-New Zealand clash will determine the group topper.
What’s Next for Pakistan and Bangladesh?
- Pakistan will now head to New Zealand for a white-ball tour featuring five T20Is and three ODIs.
- Bangladesh will prepare to host Zimbabwe for a three-match ODI and T20I series.
This washout concludes Pakistan and Bangladesh’s disappointing Champions Trophy campaigns, as both teams exit the tournament without a single victory.
