➤ Match Preview
The stakes couldn’t be higher as Pakistan takes on Bangladesh in a must-win clash at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Set for February 27, 2025, at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, this Group A encounter is the last straw for Pakistan, who are desperate to get a win after back-to-back defeats against New Zealand and India. With no hopes of reaching the semi-final, Pakistan needs a convincing win over Bangladesh to at least get a consolation as the host nation.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh isn’t in the best shape, having suffered an early setback against India. However, they’ll be eager to capitalize on Pakistan’s struggles and grab a crucial victory. Adding to the drama, Bangladesh already had a taste of defeat against Pakistan in a warm-up match earlier this month—will they settle the score when it matters most?
With high-stakes cricket, unpredictable twists, and potential game-changing moments, this match is a must-watch for neutral cricket fans around the world.
