Champions Trophy 2025: Rain likely to disrupt Pakistan-Bangladesh clash

The Champions Trophy 2025 clash between Pakistan and Bangladesh is likely to face disruption due to weather in Rawalpindi on Thursday.

The two teams will look to close out their campaign on a high by winning the dead rubber at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

Both Pakistan and Bangladesh squads arrived at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, however, ground staff covered the pitch while the outfield was also covered due to heavy rain.

Defending champions Pakistan crashed out of the Champions Trophy 2025 after they were defeated by New Zealand and India in their first two games.

Bangladesh were also defeated by both New Zealand and India and were knocked out of the ongoing tournament alongside Pakistan.

It is worth noting here that the much-anticipated game between Australia and South Africa at the same venue was abandoned due to persistent rain on February 25.

The AUS vs SA game was abandoned without even the toss at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium as both sides were awarded a point each due to no result.
