Whenever your country is hosting a tournament, there is more pressure on you to make your team win the match and the title, but the story of Pakistan has been somewhat the opposite.
Pakistan is hosting the Champions Trophy 2025, but the Indian team is playing its matches in Dubai. The condition of Pakistan looked very bad in this tournament, where 6 days have passed since the tournament started and the journey of the Pakistan team is over already.
By defeating Bangladesh, New Zealand along with India have entered the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, while the journey of Bangladesh and Pakistan has ended. With the exit from the tournament, an unwanted record was registered in the name of the Pakistan team. Let's know about this.
Pakistan Team 'OUT' from ICC Champions Trophy 2025
The Pakistan cricket team suffered a major setback even before its first match in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. When opener Sam Ayub was out of the tournament. Fakhar Zaman was included in the team as his replacement, but his luck was so bad that Fakhar Zaman got injured on the second ball of the first match, which was played against New Zealand.
Not only this, but Pakistan's bowling attack was also lacking as Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah were not able to do anything special and kept conceding runs. The lack of a proper spinner to support Abrar Ahmed was another reason for Pakistan's poor performance.
All these shortcomings were seen in the two matches of the ICC Champions Trophy of the Pakistan team. The New Zealand team scored 320 runs in the first match played against Pakistan, in which the Pakistan team lost by 60 runs. Then Team India defeated Pakistan by 6 wickets in the second match.
After being out of the Champions Trophy, these unwanted records were added to Pakistan's name.
This was the first time since 2009 that the host country had been eliminated from the tournament without winning a single match in the Champions Trophy group stage. The last time this happened was when South Africa won one match, lost two matches, and finished at the bottom of its group.
Pakistan entered the tournament as defending champions this time, but after two consecutive defeats, they became the fourth team to be eliminated in the group stage. This happened for the first time in 2004 when India and Sri Lanka were eliminated from the tournament in the group stage itself. In 2002, India and Sri Lanka were joint winners.
The last time this happened was in 2013 when defending champions Australia failed to win any match and were eliminated in the group stage.
Let us tell you that the Pakistan team will now play its last match against Bangladesh on February 27. However, there is a big threat of rain in the match, which means that Pakistan will end its journey in the tournament without a win in the last match.
