Pakistan Seeks First Win Against Bangladesh in Champions Trophy 2025
RAWALPINDI – Pakistan will take on Bangladesh in their final group-stage match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, aiming to end their winless streak and restore pride in front of their home crowd.
With back-to-back losses against New Zealand and India, Pakistan’s campaign has come to a disappointing early exit. Mohammad Rizwan’s squad now faces the challenge of securing a consolation victory to avoid finishing the tournament without a single win.
Pakistan vs Bangladesh: A Match of Pride
Like Pakistan, Bangladesh has also been eliminated after losing their first two matches. Both teams are now battling to avoid finishing at the bottom of Group A, making this contest crucial for team morale and fan support.
Despite their struggles, Pakistan’s players, including Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, and Shaheen Afridi, will look to make an impact and close out the tournament on a positive note. Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s Nazmul Hossain Shanto-led squad will aim to capitalize on Pakistan’s inconsistency and claim their first win.
Pakistan vs Bangladesh Squads
Pakistan Squad: Mohammad Rizwan (c), Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, 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.

Rain Threat Looms Over Rawalpindi Encounter
Cricket fans may have to prepare for weather disruptions, as forecasts predict an 80% chance of steady rain around the toss time. A washout would mean both teams finish their campaigns without a win, making this an anxious wait for players and supporters alike.
Pakistan’s Last Chance for Redemption
Although neither team can progress further in the Champions Trophy 2025, this match remains significant for their national pride and future momentum. Pakistan hopes to regain confidence with a victory, while Bangladesh aims to make a strong statement before heading home.
Will Pakistan break their losing streak, or will Bangladesh end on a high note? Fans eagerly await the result of this final group-stage showdown!
