Pakistan and Bangladesh face off each other in a dead rubber in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on Thursday, February 27 in Rawalpindi. The match starts from 2.30 pm IST. This is an inconsequential match given that both teams are already eliminated from the tournament.
Pakistan have lost both their games so far, same as Bangladesh. They lost to the Kiwis by 60 runs and then India beat them by six wickets. Bangladesh, on the other hand, lost to India by six wickets and lost to the Kiwis by five wickets. They batted first in both games but could not put up a competitive target on the board.
Both teams are on a declining stage when it comes to white-ball cricket. While Pakistan are going through a phase where their premier players are not performing in big matches, for Bangladesh, the team is undergoing a change with their senior players now retiring from the game.
Champions Trophy 2025 Match 9: Pakistan vs Bangladesh Preview
As said earlier, the result of this game is inconsequential with both teams eliminated from the tournament. Both teams are looking to play for pride and not remain winless in the tournament. Bangladesh who have beaten Pakistan in previous ICC events is looking to do it once again. The Men In Green with their mercurial nature of cricket is looking to hit back hard at the Tigers.
Both teams have players who can be the surprising package in this otherwise dead encounter. Babar Azam, who has been short of runs in recent times will look to regain some form in this match. There has been enough talk about the former Pakistan skipper not stepping up for his team in crucial times. It was on show in this tournament once again.
The opposition teams dominated both Pakistan and Bangladesh when they played against them. With nothing at stake for them in this match, both teams might look to play with freedom and play some attacking cricket. Batters from both teams have been short of runs and hence this match is the perfect hit out for them.
