Champions Trophy: Pakistan's dismal campaigns ends with washout
Pakistan and Bangladesh did not get the opportunity to end their disappointing Champions Trophy campaigns on a high note due to rain on Thursday.
The match was called off 90 minutes after the scheduled start time in Rawalpindi, where heavy rain had also caused the cancellation of Australia's clash with South Africa two days earlier.
Tournament hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh had already been knocked out of the eight-team competition after losing their first two Group A matches respectively.
