Pakistan will face Bangladesh in their final match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on February 27. With both teams already eliminated from the semi-final race, this game is effectively a dead-rubber.

However, the defending champions Pakistan will be eager to salvage some pride and sign off with a victory on home soil. It has been a forgettable campaign for Pakistan, suffering back-to-back defeats against New Zealand and India, which dashed their hopes of progressing further in the tournament.

Bangladesh, too, faced a similar fate, losing both their opening matches. With no knockout spot to fight for, both teams will now be looking to bow out on a high note with a victory.

PAK vs BAN: Historical Overview In ODIs And Champions Trophy

Pakistan and Bangladesh have locked horns 39 times in the ODI format. Pakistan has dominated the head-to-head record, winning 34 encounters, while Bangladesh has managed just five victories.
