Rain threatens to disrupt play in Rawalpindi, where it is currently gloomy but dry. With a 35% chance of precipitation, 78% humidity, and winds at 16 km/h, the weather may impact the game, potentially leading to a long day of interruptions.

The umpires are out in the middle for a pitch inspection, but the conditions remain gloomy. A toss seems unlikely at this stage.

Weather Update: Covers remain in place with little movement, suggesting no imminent start to play.

More frustration from Rawalpindi as a heavier downpour in the last few minutes has further delayed the pitch inspection. The super soppers, which were previously working around the ground, have now been taken off, and the scattered fans in attendance have sought shelter.

Stay tuned as we continue to wait for an update.

FYI, the outcome of this match – and whether it gets fulfilled – won’t affect Group A’s semifinal standings. Pakistan and Bangladesh are both already out of contention for the top four, and pride is the only thing they have left to fight for.

The last group match, that between New Zealand and India on Sunday, will determine the top two in Group A and their semifinal rivals from Group B.

The update is there is no update. The covers remain fully in place as light but persistent rain continues. It seems we are at least an hour away from any further update on a potential start time.

The rain is pouring heavily now in Rawalpindi, and it seems only a matter of time before the match is called off. A few spectators remain, but most have started to leave the venue.

We just caught a glimpse of the venue on the ICC’s host broadcast. While the rain has lightened, there’s still enough drizzle to cause more delays to play. A few Pakistan players were spotted on the ground in their training kits.

Stay tuned for further weather updates and, hopefully, some cricket action.

The match has officially been called off due to persistent rain. Live visuals show a heavy downpour at the venue. Pakistan and Bangladesh conclude their campaigns without a win.

The hosts Pakistan finished at the bottom of the points table in Group A with just one point. Bangladesh have a better net run rate and they finished at third place. Join us tomorrow for the Afghanistan vs Australia match. Until then, goodbye and goodnight!
