Pakistan and Bangladesh eliminated from Champions Trophy 2025
Both Pakistan and Bangladesh have been eliminated from the tournament following New Zealand’s decisive five-wicket victory over Bangladesh in Rawalpindi. This outcome has secured semi-final berths for New Zealand and India from Group A, leaving the host nation, Pakistan, and Bangladesh without a path to the next stage.
Pakistan’s campaign faced early setbacks with consecutive losses to New Zealand and arch-rivals India. Their fate was sealed when New Zealand triumphed over Bangladesh, rendering Pakistan’s remaining group match inconsequential in terms of tournament progression.
Bangladesh, despite showing resilience, couldn’t muster a victory in their group matches, culminating in their exit alongside Pakistan. The focus now shifts to the upcoming semi-finals, where New Zealand and India will compete for a place in the final, while Group B’s outcomes will determine the remaining semi-finalists.
This turn of events underscores the unpredictable nature of cricket tournaments, where early favorites can face unexpected exits, and highlights the competitive spirit of the participating teams.
