Rain washes out host Pakistan’s last Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh

Rain forced the abandonment of the Pakistan-Bangladesh game in the Champions Trophy on Thursday. The square remained under covers all day due to persistent rain and the umpires finally called off the game at 3:30 p.m. local time, 1 1/2 hours after its



scheduled start.

Both teams were already eliminated from semifinals contention after losing to India and New Zealand, and the rainout was a disappointing last tournament appearance for both, especially Pakistan, the host and defending champion.
