A win for Pakistan keeps their semi-final hopes alive, while Bangladesh’s seemingly doomed tournament has had added life struck into it with the news breaking that the top eight teams in this World Cup will earn qualification for the 2025 Champions Trophy.

Bangladesh, currently in ninth place with just one win from six matches, now have three high-pressure matches ahead rather than the three dead rubbers everyone had already assumed.

Pakistan, who are hosting the 2025 competition and qualify automatically, are still in with a chance of semi-final qualification at this World Cup, but require three wins from their last three matches and other results to go their way.

Both sides suffered demoralising defeats in their last outings, with Pakistan losing in dramatic fashion to South Africa, whilst Bangladesh were knocked over by the Netherlands, in a result that was on paper a shock, but in reality wholly expected. Both teams will be looking for an immediate response here.

Pakistan v Bangladesh key player to watch

Haris Rauf (Pakistan)

One of the quickest bowlers in the world, Rauf has been superb when bowling at the end of the innings at this World Cup but has struggled when bowling in the powerplay. Bangladesh’s batting line-up has been pretty timid so far this World Cup, and so Rauf has the opportunity to hit his straps and find some form as Pakistan hunt for semi-final qualification.
