Bangladesh: Did not bat

Without a ball bowled, the match was called off.

Pakistan’s game against Bangladesh in the Champions Trophy was abandoned without a ball being bowled because of rain in Rawalpindi, Pakistan.

The umpires called the match off at 10: 30 GMT, 90 minutes after the scheduled start time.

Following the suspension of Australia’s meeting with South Africa on Tuesday, Rawalpindi has lost its second game to the weather.

After losing their opening two matches, Pakistan and Bangladesh both had already lost.

Hosts Pakistan, the reigning champions, lost to New Zealand by 60 runs and India by six wickets and finish bottom of Group A with one point.
