PAK vs BAN Champions Trophy 2025 Predicted Playing 11 Today Match: Pakistan have crashed and burned in the Champions Trophy, despite coming into the event as the defending champions and the hosts. Their top stars have flattered to deceive in the Champions Trophy, which is why they’re playing against Bangladesh in the final game of the 2025 Champions Trophy with nothing more than pride on the line.
Pakistan might try and reason that they were hamstrung by injuries to players like Saim Ayub (ankle injury) and Fakhar Zaman (who was injury on the second ball of the tournament). But big-names like Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, and Mohammad Rizwan have not delivered with the bat. Meanwhile, the pace trio of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah has also been inconsistent.

Shaheen Shah Afridi could be benched
Shaheen Shah Afridi has had a wretched tournament so far in Pakistan. He’s claimed two wickets in two games at the Champions Trophy, besides having a lacklustre event at the tri-series which was played as a build-up for the Champions Trophy. many former Pakistan cricketers like Wasim Akram and Mohammad Hafeez have roundly slammed him for this. With the tournament already done and dusted, Mohammad Hasnain could replace Shaheen in the XI.
