Here comes the penultimate Group A match in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but there’s zilch to play for. A dead rubber between two underperformers, both vanquished by New Zealand and India, with no means to advance. It’s tournament organizers Pakistan against fellow Asians Bangladesh, meeting each other with nix at stake save for pride.
