Rawalpindi, Feb 27: The much-anticipated Champions Trophy clash between hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
This marks a disappointing end for Pakistan, which hosted an ICC tournament for the first time in 29 years. Their campaign concluded without a single victory, raising concerns over the team's performance. Bangladesh, too, wrapped up their tournament without securing a win, leaving them with plenty to reflect on.
Both teams will share one point each following the washout.
Pakistan faced significant criticism throughout the tournament, particularly after their six-wicket loss to arch-rivals India in Dubai. Their inability to secure a victory has left fans and analysts questioning their form and strategy.
This was the second match in Rawalpindi to be called off without any play, following the earlier washout between South Africa and Australia earlier this week.
With the tournament progressing, attention now shifts to the upcoming fixtures and how the remaining teams will fare in the battle for the prestigious title.
