Pakistan End End Home Champions Trophy without winning after rawalpindi rinsing | Current news
The last group stage of Pakistan and Bangladesh was washed out in Rawalpindi while both sides emerge the champion trophy.
The rain forced the abandonment of the Pakistan-Bangladesh game in the ICC Champions trophy in their last group phase in Rawalpindi.
The square remained under the blankets all day for permanent rain on Thursday, and the sauces finally rejected the game at 15:30 local time, one and a half hours after the scheduled start.
Both teams have already been eliminated from semi -finals after losing to India and New Zealand, and the rinsing was a disappointing last tournament for both, especially Pakistan, hosts and defender of the champion.
Rain in Rawalpindi had previously cleared Group B game in South Africa-Australia on Tuesday.
New Zealand, who defeated Pakistan in the introductory match for 60 runs, sealed his playoff place with a win in Pet Vitla over Bangladesh on Monday in Rawalpindi, who were awarded three champions trophy matches.
India beat Bangladesh and Pakistan in Dubai to qualify for the semifinals.
This is the third consecutive ICC tournament in which Pakistan did not go beyond the first round after the 50 ODO World Cup 2023 and the T20 World Cup last year.
“It’s shocking for us that we didn’t play well in ICC tournaments,” said Pakistan Azhar Mahmood assistant coach.
Mahmood believed that Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub shot opening injuries influenced the team while playing 308 points in completed games against India and New Zealand.
“We played a good cricket in this format, but in this tournament it didn’t work well for injuries,” Mahmood said. “We have made a lot of pressure on ourselves against India, but we know where we need to improve. It’s all about adjusting and taking responsibility. “
