The 9th match of the Champions Trophy 2025 is underway at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, featuring a face-off between Pakistan and Bangladesh. However, the match holds no significance in terms of qualification, as both teams have already been eliminated from the tournament. India and New Zealand from Group A have secured their spots in the semi-finals, making this a battle for pride.
The outcome of this match will only determine the final standings in Group A—the winner will claim the third position, while the losing side will finish at the bottom of the table.
Rain Plays Spoilsport
The toss has been delayed due to rain, and the match is yet to begin due to a wet outfield. Although the rain has now stopped, there is no official confirmation regarding the start time. According to Accuweather.com, temperatures in Rawalpindi are expected to range between 17-19°C, with a 60% chance of rain persisting until 3 PM.
This is not the first time weather has disrupted the tournament at this venue—the Australia vs South Africa match on February 25 was also called off due to rain. Fans and players alike will be hoping for improved conditions so that at least some play can take place today.
