Pakistan avoids zero-point exit in Champions Trophy due to rain..!?

Thanks to the rain, the pakistan team has escaped the terrible situation of exiting the 2025 Champions Trophy without getting a single point. pakistan hosted the Champions Trophy, an international cricket series, after about 29 years. Therefore, the pakistan cricket team was also in high spirits. The pakistan team, which was in Group A, lost its first match against new zealand and India. Due to this, it also lost the chance to advance to the semi-finals. Next, it was going to play its last group-round match against Bangladesh. If it did not win this match too, it was in a position to exit without getting a single point. If pakistan, the champions of the last 2017 Champions Trophy, had exited the next Champions Trophy without a single point, it would have been the worst event in history.
However, the match between pakistan and bangladesh was abandoned due to rain. Following this, both teams were awarded one point each. As a result, pakistan has ended its 2025 Champions Trophy journey with one point. At the same time, it has also achieved some bad records. After kenya, there was an incident where a team hosting the Champions Trophy exited the series without a single win. Previously, in 2000, kenya jointly hosted the series with South Africa. Then kenya did not win a single win. After that, pakistan has not won a single match in 2025 despite being the host team. Similarly, pakistan has also become the second team after australia to be the champion of the previous Champions Trophy series and exit the current Champions Trophy series in the group stage. australia, which won the 2009 Champions Trophy, had exited the 2013 Champions Trophy in the group stage. It is noteworthy that australia also got only one point in the group stage at that time. Currently, pakistan has only one point.

Furthermore, among the eight teams participating in the 2025 Champions Trophy series, only players from the Pakistani team have not scored a single century so far. At least one of the other seven teams has scored a century. In that way, the Pakistani team has exited this series by making many poor records on behalf of individual players and as a team as a whole. It is also predicted that interest in cricket in pakistan will decrease from now on due to these bad defeats.
