Pakistan’s Champions Trophy homecoming in 2025 ended in disappointment as their final Group A game against Bangladesh was abandoned due to rain in Rawalpindi. This resulted in Pakistan finishing at the bottom of their group without a single win. The team struggled with their batting in previous matches, scoring only 22 runs in the PowerPlay against New Zealand and failing to defend a subpar total against India. The rain-marred clash against Bangladesh was their last chance at redemption, but the game was called off early due to the persistent rain. This was the second abandoned match at the venue, adding to the frustration for Pakistan. Overall, it was a forgettable tournament for the defending champions, who failed to live up to expectations on home soil. The disappointment was palpable as Pakistan bid farewell to the Champions Trophy without a single victory.
