Bangladesh have decided to cancel their pre-match practice session today because of the adverse weather conditions ahead of their third and final Group A match of the Champions Trophy against Pakistan, which is set to take place tomorrow.

Bangladesh were scheduled to train at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from 6:30-9:30 pm (local time), but the current gloomy weather played spoilsport.

However, they will hold their pre-match media conference at 6:30 pm (Bangladesh time 7:30 pm).

The Rawalpindi wicket is currently covered, and the weather has also prevented the hosts from conducting a full training session, as their practice was limited to warm-ups and a light football match in the afternoon.

Both Bangladesh and Pakistan are already out of the tournament after losing their opening two games, and tomorrow's match is just a dead rubber contest, even though the two sides will look to play for pride.
