The 9th match of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played between the defending champions, Pakistan and 2017 semi finalist, Bangladesh. Both teams have looked like the shadow of their former selves with both teams failing to win a single game so far. Pakistan hasn’t seemed like a defending champion while Bangladesh seems to have forgotten that they played in the semis in 2017.

A win for both teams will give them something to take back home, more so for the hosts. If they don’t win this match, the PCBs whip will be out and a lot of players, support staff, selectors, etc might be sacked. They would like to end their home tournament with a win.
