Hosts and defending champions Pakistan became the first team to be eliminated from the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. They now aim to close their campaign on a positive note by securing a win in their final group-stage match against Bangladesh, who have also bowed out of the tournament.
Both teams are yet to register a victory, having lost their first two group-stage games, making today's clash a battle for pride. However, with the match set in Rawalpindi — where the previous fixture between South Africa and Australia was washed out due to rain — both sides will be hoping to avoid a damp end to their campaigns.
