Pakistan and Bangladesh are set to clash in a match with no impact on the tournament standings as they have both been eliminated. Despite the lack of stakes, the game matters in terms of national pride, particularly for host nation Pakistan. However, inclement weather poses a risk to the match taking place.

As the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy progress, Group B remains undecided, with only England confirmed as eliminated. Conversely, in Group A, it is established that India and New Zealand advance, while Pakistan and Bangladesh must bow out. The two defeated teams are now set to compete against each other, facing the challenge of concluding their campaigns on a high note, especially for Pakistan, as the host nation.

In summary, the match today between Pakistan and Bangladesh holds little significance in terms of progression in the tournament, yet carries weight for both teams in terms of pride. With adverse weather conditions threatening the game, spectators await confirmation of whether the match will indeed proceed. Regardless, both teams seek to salvage some dignity in the final outing of the tournament.
