In the penultimate match of Group A in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, defending champions Pakistan will face Bangladesh in their final match of the competition, respectively. Both teams have been knocked out of the CT 2025 tournament, having lost both their respective matches thus far. The PAK vs BAN CT 2025 match will be played at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi and will start at 2:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST). Interestingly, this will also be the first-ever PAK vs BAN Champions Trophy match, despite having faced each other several times since 1986. ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Reports of ‘Terror Attack, Kidnapping Plot’ in Pakistan Overshadow Mega Tournament.

Hosts Pakistan have already been knocked out of the tournament, with defeats against New Zealand and India, and will now look to play for pride, when they play their final home match. It will be interesting, if Pakistan field a new-look XI or continue to play a tried-and-tested eleven. On the flip side, Bangladesh despite losing their matches, have showcased fight and character, which place them above Pakistan, who have often than not just raised a white flag.

The PAK vs BAN CT match is facing a rain threat, with Rawalpindi constantly facing showers for the past few days, which also saw the AUS vs SA CT match get washed off.

Taskin Ahmed looked in prime form in his last outing and will look to capitalise on Azam's poor patch of late. Jaker Ali has been Bangladesh's crisis man and has been their most sort-after batter. Abrar Ahmed, on the other hand, is coming off a great game against India and will hope to make his momentum count.
