It's time for the Asian rivalry once again in the Champions Trophy 2025. Both teams, though, are already out of contention to make it to the tournament's semi-finals, having lost their opening two games. The hosts, Pakistan, are taking on their Asian rivals, Bangladesh, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

The pitch at the Rawalpindi stadium is expected to be a good pitch. Still, the pitch has been under covers as the previous match (Australia vs South Africa) at this venue was abandoned due to rain so the new ball might just swing & seam around for an extended period. The team that wins the toss will look to bat first in this game.
The weather in Rawalpindi isn't good for playing Cricket. The temperatures will hover around 17°C, as there is a 65% chance of rain on the matchday.
Both teams will be playing against each other for the first time in the Champions Trophy. Both teams had to face huge losses in their first two encounters of the tournament. Purely based on head-to-record Pakistan has a better chance of winning this game against Bangladesh.
