Pakistan vs Bangladesh Playing 11: PAK vs BAN probable playing XI for Champions Trophy match

Hosts Pakistan will face Bangladesh in their last match of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

While there will be no progress to the semi-finals for either of these sides at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, there is still plenty to play for.

In front of their home fans, Pakistan will pull out all the stops to ensure they don't finish their tournament campaign winless. While Bangladesh will be out to prove that they belong at this level of competition.


The pair will do battle in Rawalpindi, looking to avoid Group A's bottom spot.

Recent form of both the teams:

Pakistan: It's despair for Pakistan, who won't be defending their Champions Trophy title from 2017, having suffered back-to-back losses. New Zealand beat them by 60 runs in the tournament opener, before India claimed a six-wicket win in Dubai. Captain Mohammad Rizwan blamed 'mistakes' for their losses, which will no doubt be an area of focus against the Tigers.

Bangladesh: The Tigers have been starved of ODI success in recent times, dating as far back as their three-game series with the West Indies where they lost all three. They've lost both Champions Trophy matches so far off the back of inconsistent batting, an area they'll look to try and tidy up against Pakistan.
