The last game of the Pakistan champions trophy group with Bangladesh on Thursday was abandoned without a ball being embedded in Rawalpindi due to the rain, ensuring that the defense of the host country title ended with a humid groan.
Pakistan, who won the Tournament of 50 in 2017, lost to New Zealand and the Indian Archirival to finish the lower part of the four sides in Group A.
His last game was only proud to play for both teams, with Bangladesh similarly outside the race for the semifinals.
Pakistan’s failure to advance beyond the group phase or even win a game was a great disappointment for a country that organized its first major Cricket tournament in three decades.
“The expectations were very high, but we did not work well and is disappointing for us,” said Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan.
“We are annoying and we are accepting that we did not do it well. Hopefully we do more hard work and return. “
Like his counterpart, Bangladesh’s captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was disappointed that they could not go out high.
“We really wanted to play this game, but we can’t do anything about the weather,” he said.
Pakistan finished fourth and last with a point, a position under Bangladesh, which also has a point but a better net execution rate.
The rain during the night in Rawalpindi continued again and despite several inspections of the referees, no game was possible.
India and New Zealand progressed to the semifinals of Group A.
In Group B, South Africa, Australia and Afghanistan compete for the other two semifinal points. England is out of dispute.
