Champions Trophy hosts Pakistan will be desperate to end their campaign on a high, taking on the Tigers today in Rawalpindi. 

While there will be no progressing 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 adoring home fans, Pakistan will pull out all the stops to ensure they don't finish their tournament campaign winless. While for Bangladesh, they will be out to prove they belong with this calibre of competition.

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

HIGHLIGHTS

*This is the first time Bangladesh and Pakistan will meet in the ICC Champions Trophy.

*Bangladesh have five victories to their name against Pakistan in ODIs. Pakistan, on the other hand, boast 34 wins against the Tigers in 39 overall meetings, including three victories in their last three encounters in ICC tournaments.

*Bangladesh have never beaten Pakistan in Pakistan in ODIs. Pakistan have a 12-0 home record against Bangladesh in ODIs. The Tigers, however, have won two ODIs in the country, with both wins coming in Asia Cup contests (against the UAE in 2008 and against Afghanistan in 2023, respectively).

*Mahmudullah Riyad has featured in most Bangladesh-Pakistan contests, playing in 20 encounters between the two sides, but the right-handed batter averages 23.80 and strikes it at 59.40 against this particular opposition.
