Host Pakistan has suffered a second consecutive defeat in the Champions Trophy 2025. The team had to face defeat by 6 wickets against the Indian team on Sunday after a 60 -run defeat against New Zealand. Losing two consecutive matches has made it difficult for Pakistan in the tournament. Now Pakistan’s team cannot proceed on its own in the tournament, it will have to depend on the results of other teams to stay in the tournament.
The path to reach the semi -finals for Pakistan seems very difficult. Pakistan’s team has only one way left. Pakistan will have to defeat Bangladesh by a big margin in their last league match, so that the team’s net run rate can be better than New Zealand. At the same time, Pakistan will also have to expect that India and Bangladesh teams defeat New Zealand, which will make the points of the three teams equal and if Pakistan’s run rate is better at that time, then it can hit the entry in the semi -finals.
Pakistan’s net run rate is very bad due to losing two consecutive matches. Pakistan will have to defeat Bangladesh by a big margin and also expect that New Zealand team lost by a big margin from India and Bangladesh. Along with the Pakistan batsman, the bowlers have not appeared in rhythm in the tournament. Shaheen Afridi, Nasim Shah and Haris Rauf have not been able to perform as expected.
