Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: But none of it is the positive kind. The covers were removed, only to be reshuffled after the water collected on it was poured off for the super sopper to take care of. Speaking of which, the super sopper has been doing its thing for a while now, but it doesn’t look like it can stop rain falling from the sky, which is still happening sporadically

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Effectively it means that the start of the match is also delayed.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: None. That is the short answer.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Well it is damp and soggy out there. The covers are very much on, no movements at all on the ground despite toss being just 10 minutes away on paper. It is pretty safe to say that little time is going to be changed again on that paper very soon.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Pakistan’s suffering batting superstar has been out of form for so long that people are now starting to question if he ever really was that good to begin with. However, India great Sunil Gavaskar feels that Babar can get his career back on track with a slight tweak in his stance. “If you ask me about technique, I’ll just say one thing to Babar Azam. Right now, his stance is wide,” Gavaskar said on former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali’s Youtube channel. “If he reduces the width between his legs (while standing at the crease) then he will get two advantages – He won’t be uncomfortable moving front or back. Secondly, when you close the gap, your height increases. You have a better understanding of the bounce, you are more upright and you can tackle the ball better. If he tries to do that, the run-making ability that he had will come back. If he does that, it will not only provide joy to the people of Pakistan but also the entire world.”

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Considering the wealth of legendary bowlers that have come from Pakistan, and the lack thereof in the case of Bangladesh, it might come as a surprise that the latter have faired slightly better than the hosts in this department in the 2025 Champions Trophy. Fast bowlers in both sides have taken 11 wickets thus far but while Bangladesh’s pacers have gone at average of 44.83 and have conceded runs at 5.12 per over, Pakistan’s have an average of 63.50 and an economy rate of 7.18.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: The first big blow for Pakistan was Fakhar Zaman being ruled out due to an injury he sustained while fielding in the tournament opener. While he batted on one foot later that day, Fakhar was eventually ruled out of the tournament and rumours surfaced of him considering retirement after Pakistan’s defeat to India. The 34-year-old, who is currently in rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), dismissed the reports and confirmed that he committed to returning to the Pakistan team soon. “There is no truth in the retirement news. I will be fully fit and join the team soon,” Fakhar said, as quoted from Geo News.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: In case you missed what happened yesterday, well, Afghanistan deepened England’s descent into an existential crisis. Ibrahim Zadran’s 77 off 146 balls took Afghanistan to 325/7. It was looking like England were going to chase it down, with the incredible Joe Root scoring 120 in 111 balls. But then his dismissal to Azmatullah Omarzai triggered an incredible collapse which ended with Afghanistan winning by 8 runs. Omarzai finished with figures of 5/58. It was England’s second consecutive defeat in ODIs to Afghanistan and their SIXTH in a row in the format.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Not good news at all from the stadium. The covers are firmly on and drizzles continue to come and go. There is still heavy cloud cover over the stadium, the kind that doesn’t go away that easy.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Jaker has played only seven ODIs thus far and he has scored 264 runs at an average of 52.80 and a healthy strike rate of 86.84. He has scored two half-centuries, one of which came in an extraordinary effort against India in this tournament.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: How good has Jaker Ali been in this tournament and in ODIs overall? He is the reason why Bangladesh were not all out for embarrassing totals against India (along with Towhid Hridoy) and New Zealand. He has shown that he can dig in and weather out tricky conditions and bowling attacks who have their tails up and then go six-hitting in the death overs.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Abrar Ahmed sent back the red-hot Shubman Gill with a delivery for the ages and then tweaked his signature celebration to make it a subtle sendoff for Gill. The match didn’t go well for Pakistan at all because of which Abrar got a lot of flak for that celebration but if you peel all those layers off, it becomes clear that the spinner has been one of few success stories for the team in recent months. He averages 26.93 and has an economy of 4.69 in nine ODIs, in which he has taken 15 wickets. All very encouraging signs. It has to be said, though, that Abrar was quite ineffective against Bangladesh last year in the twin Test defeats in Rawalpindi.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: The old adage is that teams playing a dead rubber are playing for pride but well, that might not really be the case for Pakistan. It is quite fair to say that Bangladesh would definitely see a victory against Pakistan today as a positive. This tournament came undone for them largely due to their almost non-existent top order but their middle order and bowling attacks have been quite impressive. On the other hand, a victory for Pakistan might do little to the doom and despair that is surely going to take hold of any of the multitude of sweeping decisions that will surely come in a typically knee-jerk fashion.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: No encouraging images, or forecast, from Rawalpindi at all. The pitch and the square remain covered, heavy clouds hang over the stadium and it is raining sporadically. The good part of it is that while the chances of rain was hovering around 70 per cent yesterday, it has come down to 43 per cent. However, the latter number by itself is not too encouraging for a full day’s play.

Pakistan vs Bangladesh Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: It could be yet another rainy day out in Rawalpindi. The match between Australia and South Africa was washed out a couple of days back and the weather isn’t much better today. From a cricketing perspective that is. Stay tuned for more updates.
