Pakistan and Bangladesh had come into Thursday’s match with a hope to sign off from the 2025 Champions Trophy on a positive note. Both teams had suffered defeats to New Zealand and India, respectively, where all three facets of their game didn’t click in a desired manner, though Bangladesh’s bowling line-up was better placed as compared to Pakistan.
If rain eventually has the final say in Rawalpindi, Pakistan and Bangladesh might see their respective 2025 Champions Trophy campaigns end on a rainy note. “I can't predict Pindi weather. It is not looking great. We might get some game out it, no one knows,” said Pakistan assistant coach Azhar Mahmood to broadcasters.
Pakistan: Mohammad Rizwan (c & wk), Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Tayyab Tahir, Faheem Ashraf, Khushdil Shah, Salman Ali Agha, Usman Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasnain, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi.
