🏏ICC Champions Trophy 2025: PAK vs BD, Match 9, Group A🏏 - Page 8

When the Champions Trophy came home, Pakistan were supposed to be like a well-engineered V8 - roaring through familiar asphalt smothering everything along the way. Instead, they’ve been a thrummy 3-cylinder that’s sputtered and groaned as it’s carried a weight of expectations that’s far greater than its designed capacity. “Intent” is a word that gets thrown around a lot when Pakistan bat and the way they’ve performed in this tournament so far has ensured that that won't change anytime soon. They were outplayed by New Zealand in their opening fixture and more still by India in their next. If their batting has lacked intent, their bowling has lacked order and venom. While Rizwan has been candid about his team’s shortcomings, there’s been little to suggest a revolution is coming and Pakistan cricket might just need one.

Sagar Upadhyay: "They need to stick to their basics and give their best today and thinking to finish this tournament with a good win."

Aayush: "Pakistan cricket team should look forward to building up a side for 2027 CWC. They need to back Babar and Rizwan at 3/4 and opt for genuine openers. Usman Khan should be given a chance as he has got potential to play Fakhar kind of role. Maybe change the fast bowling as well with Hasnain into side."

Hamdan: "Pak is lacking clarity of roles in batting order, they need to be agressive in the field too and moreover, they should play with positive mindset and try and reduce the percentage of dot balls in the powerplay."

Vedant Deshpande: "Both teams have talented players but need structural improvements, tactical innovation, and mental resilience to return to consistent winning ways"

Nothing new to report. Ground still under covers, still some drizzle around in Rawalpindi. We've started losing overs as well.

14:17 Local Time, 09:17 GMT, 14:47 IST: The covers are still firmly in place. The umpires are out there inspecting conditions but it doesn't look great. They're all holding umbrellas so that gives us a fair idea of how things are out there.

Tushar: "I believe Bangladesh tends to perform as underdogs on pitches that are slow and low. However, if today’s match is played on a flat track, it should be an easy win for Pakistan."

Rain ke liye kisne pray kiya tha?Pak ki team ne yaa BD ki team ne

B Rakesh: "To win the game Pakistan must play some positive cricket and Bangladesh senior players must produce some valuable innings together."
