ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Pakistan finished at the bottom of Group A after their final game against Bangladesh at Rawalpindi was washed out due to heavy rains on Thursday. The game was a dead rubber as both the teams were already eliminated from the tournament but gave Pakistan a chance to wrap up the tournament with some dignity.


However, the game being abandoned without a ball being bowled meant Pakistan finished at the bottom of the table since Bangladesh had better NRR than them. 

Meanwhile, the internet didn't hold back in ridiculing Pakistan's poor show in the tournament. The defending champions didn't show any intent to make impact in the first ICC event they got to host after decades, angry fans point out.

Tuesday's Group B fixture between Australia and South Africa at the same venue was also abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain.

It has been a forgettable campaign for Mohammad Rizwan-led Pakistan in the first global tournament to be staged in the country since 1996 and their six-wicket defeat by arch-rivals India will particularly hurt.Bangladesh also finished their winless campaign with a point.

India and New Zealand, who meet in an inconsequential group match in Dubai on Sunday, have secured semi-final places from Group A.
