Pakistan vs Bangladesh Head to Head in Champions Trophy 2025 List – PAK vs BAN H2H Stats & Records

Pak vs Ban head to head Champions Trophy 2025: The spark of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is going to ignite an eternal passion for cricket. Two neighboring nations, Pakistan and Bangladesh, are also participating in Group A. In the 9th match of the tournament, both teams will be playing their third match of the group stage on February 27, 2025 (Thursday). The match will start at 2:30 PM IST at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi. As Pakistan is going to play group-stage matches on home grounds, the odds are in favor of the home team. On the other hand, Bangladesh could qualify leaving behind historically exceptional teams for ICC events, Sri Lanka and West Indies. Let’s delve into the head-to-head records to understand whether Pakistan is ahead or Bangladesh. 

Pakistan is a defending champion, and the team will be looking to maintain the status quo under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan, who is a consistent run-getter. In the ICC ODI ranking, Pakistan is third from the top. However, a recent loss against New Zealand and South Africa in the Tri-Series has paused the momentum. Also, Pakistan is not among those teams with the most experienced players, having previously played for the team in the champion trophy. Reliable batters Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam have been retained from the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 final match. The team has young talents in the form of pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah and spinner Abrar Ahmed. Every match will present a high-stake encounter to pave the way for the final match once again. 

Bangladesh has never won a Champions Trophy ever, but the Tigers managed to play a semi-final match in the last edition. However, this team contains six players who also played in the Champions Trophy 2017. Prolific batters Soumya Sarkar and Mushfiqur Rahim will be featured again in this tournament. In the bowling unit, fast bowlers Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman were also part of the semi-final team of Bangladesh. The Tigers battled against India in the second semi-final but could not qualify for the final. Although Bangladesh is still behind the top teams in the ICC ODI ranking, all eyes will be on their surprising performance, which usually knocks out top teams from ICC events.
