Persistent rain in Rawalpindi has delayed the toss for the ICC Champions Trophy match between Pakistan and Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Both teams, already eliminated from the tournament, were eager to conclude their campaigns on a positive note. Umpires Adrian Holdstock and Michael Gough are monitoring the weather, with play set to commence once conditions improve.
Pakistan’s interim head coach, Aqib Javed, attributed the team’s early exit to a lack of experience among players. Despite the disappointment, he emphasized the importance of playing for pride in this final group match.
Similarly, Bangladesh’s assistant coach, Mohammad Salahuddin, highlighted the need for a balanced performance, expressing confidence in the team’s bowling attack and emphasizing the importance of a strong batting display to set a defendable target.
As fans await the weather to clear, both teams remain hopeful for an opportunity to showcase their skills and end the tournament on a high note.
