Pakistan’s last match in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 against Bangladesh could be affected by bad weather as rain is expected in Rawalpindi today, Thursday, February 27.  

Both teams have already been eliminated from the tournament, and this match is only for pride. However, with rain predicted throughout the day, the chances of a full game look uncertain.  
 
The weather in Rawalpindi has not been good for cricket. Earlier, Bangladesh played against New Zealand, but the match between Australia and South Africa was completely washed out. Now, as Pakistan prepares to take on Bangladesh, rain is once again a concern.  
 
The temperature in Rawalpindi is expected to be around 17°C during the day, dropping to 11°C in the evening. The biggest worry is the high chance of rain, with precipitation expected to be 88% throughout the day.  

The match is scheduled to begin in the afternoon, but there is a 75% chance of rain at that time. The rain may slow down in the evening and night, but a light drizzle is expected to continue. This could make it difficult to have uninterrupted play.  
 
If the rain continues as expected, it will be tough to complete the match. The outfield has already received a lot of rain in recent days, making it harder for the ground staff to prepare the playing conditions. If the rain does not stop, there is a real chance of the match being washed out.  

Fans will be hoping that the weather improves so that Pakistan and Bangladesh can play their final game of the tournament without interruptions.
