Pakistan cricket team
The 9th match of the Champions Trophy 2025 was to be played between Pakistan and Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on 27 February. But due to rain, the toss could not be done in this match. In the end, both teams had to distribute one point each. With the cancellation of this match, a shameful record has been added to the Pakistan team. This had never happened to a full member team before in the history of the Champions Trophy.
Let us tell you, a total of eight editions of the Champions Trophy have been played so far. It has never happened before that the host nation could not win a single match in the tournament. However, in 2000, when the ICC Nockout tournament was held in Kenya’s hosting, India defeated Kenya in the first match and dropped it out of the tournament. But at that time all the matches in this tournament were played like a knockout match, whoever lost the match was out of the tournament.
This embarrassing record connected to Pakistan
From the year 2002, its name was changed to the Champions Trophy from the knockout tournament. Since then, it has never happened till 2017 when no host nation has won a single match in the tournament. But in the Champions Trophy 2025, Pakistan’s name was added to Pakistan, in this edition, the team could not win a single match. Pakistan played two matches in this tournament. His first match was with New Zealand, where he lost by 60 runs. At the same time, India also defeated the hosts by 6 wickets. His last group stage match was against Bangladesh, which was canceled due to rain. In such a situation, the journey of the Champions Trophy 2025 for Pakistan ended without winning.
Pakistan on the last rung at points table
Talking about Group A, India and New Zealand have already confirmed their place in the semi -finals. At the same time, the hosts have suffered another setback due to the cancellation of Bangladesh and Pakistan. After the group stage is over, both Bangladesh and Pakistan have 3-3 points in the points table. But due to the deterioration of the net run rate, the host team stood last in the table, while Bangladesh concluded the tournament at number three.
