Pakistan will face off against Bangladesh in a dead-rubber match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on February 27, 2025, in ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Both teams have lost their first two matches in Group A and will be contesting for pride. Pakistan’s last match was a six-wicket defeat against India in Dubai, where they got off to a fairly good start but were eventually derailed by the disciplined Indian bowling. Saud Shakeel was the top scorer with 62 runs, while Mohd. Rizwan contributed 46 runs.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, set up 236-9 against New Zealand, with captain Najmul Hossain Shanto scoring 77 runs. Their pace attack gave them a good start, but they could not hold back Rachin Ravindra, who was in the driver’s seat with 112 runs off 105 balls as New Zealand cruised through to victory. With both teams looking to finish their campaign on a high, Pakistan would just want to give their fans something to celebrate.
