Pakistan cricket team
The thrill of the Champions Trophy 2025 has reached its peak. In the ongoing tournament, there have been more than one exciting match till now. On 27 February, the host Pakistan will now face Bangladesh. This match has no importance. Whether any team lose or won, it will not have much effect on the points table. This will let us know who will be number three and four in Group A points table. But if Pakistan loses this match, then their name will be added to a shameful record. As soon as Pakistan loses, there will be some record in the Champions Trophy that has never been made before.
Pakistan will want to avoid making this record from name
A total of eight editions of the Champions Trophy have been played so far. It has never happened before this when the host nation did not win a single match in the tournament. Although in 2000, when the ICC Knocout tournament was held in Kenya’s hosting, Kenya played the first match against India in that edition, he lost and she was out of the tournament. At that time all the matches in this tournament were played like a knockout match, whoever lost the match was out of the tournament.
The tournament was then named the Champions Trophy in 2002. Since then, it has not happened a single time that the team that hosted the Champions Trophy has not won a single match in the group stage of the entire tournament. In such a situation, if Pakistan loses this match against Bangladesh on 27 February, then this shameful record will be added to their name. Being the host, Rizwan and company would like to keep this record away from itself by showing good games in the match against Bangladesh.
