Toss delayed due to wet outfield in Pakistan-Bangladesh Champions Trophy 2025 clash

Rawalpindi [Pakistan], February 27 (ANI): The toss between Pakistan and Bangladesh in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday has been delayed due to a wet outfield, according to ESPNcricinfo.
Hosts Pakistan have had a disappointing campaign in the Champions Trophy 2025 at home. They lost the tournament opener in Karachi against New Zealand by 60 runs and then suffered a six-wicket defeat to India in Dubai, which all but ended their chances of reaching the semi-finals.
Bangladesh also faced defeats in their first two matches. They lost to India, who chased down the target with six wickets to spare, and then suffered a five-wicket loss against New Zealand. With these results, India and New Zealand have already secured their spots in the semi-finals.
With both teams out of the race for the knockout stage, today's match in Rawalpindi is only a formality and will serve as a consolation for the winner.
