ICC Champions Trophy 2025 - Pakistan vs Bangladesh - Key Players

ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has reached the last round of the league fixtures. In the 9th fixture of the tournament, Pakistan will host Bangladesh on Thursday at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi.

The two teams have not been in good shape and they have received a similar start to their Champions Trophy campaign. Their chances of reaching the semi-final stage are very bleak and even a win might not guarantee them any good news.

Pakistan, the country that is hosting the tournament, is almost on the verge of being eliminated from the tournament. They have lost their first two fixture against New Zealand and India respectively and hence they stand at the bottom of the Group A point table with a net run rate of -1.807 and they are yet to score their maiden win.

Bangladesh has again come out as a weaker squad in international cricket. They have lost their first two fixtures also against India and New Zealand and currently, the squad stands at the 3rd spot in the Group A point table with a net run rate of -0.443.

It is a difficult situation for both squads and hence we expect a thrilling encounter between the two because of their desperate need for a win. Their qualification to the semi-finals depends upon other factors as well and hence the fixture at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is expected to see a fabulous performance from both ends.

In this article, we bring you a list of key players on which multiple cricket satta tips will be shared online and the winning odds for both squads.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025 - Key Players

1) Abrar Ahmed - Pakistan

Pakistan’s spin bowler Abrar Ahmed has gained the spotlight while playing against India in the previous fixture. His deliveries were accurate, economical and something that became dangerous for the opposition. Pakistan has been a disappointment with their bowling but Abrar Ahmed has come out as one of the most economical bowlers and against Bangladesh he will be expected to turn things around for the team.

2) Jaker Ali - Bangladesh

Bangladesh will be expecting another fabulous performance from Jaker Ali. He is currently the leading run-scorer for the team in the tournament. In the previous game against New Zealand, Jaker Ali came out as the leading scorer for the team with 45 runs off 55 balls at a strike rate of 81.82. Playing a valuable inning at the lower end of the team is a difficult task but Jaker Ali will have to rise up to the occasion for a positive result for the team.

3) Babar Azam - Pakistan

Even though Babar Azam has failed to impress in the last two games, that does not take away his credibility in international cricket. He is one of the most talent batsmen in the world. In the ODI format, Babar’s presence at the top order is always a danger against any bowling lineup. As Pakistan comes to play a last fixture at home, Babar will be motivated to end the campaign on a positive note.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025 - Other Key Players to Watch Out

Pakistan vs Bangladesh fixture on Thursday is a clash of two teams who have played a lot of cricket in the past. They both are struggling but both squads carry an immense amount of talent. Naseem Shah is one player to watch who can always stun the opposition with his ability to swing the ball both ways. Haris Rauf in the middle overs can be damaging against Bangladesh considering that he has been a consistent performer in the past.

For Bangladesh, Rishad Hossain and Towid Hridoy will play a key role. Rishad Hossain has 3 wickets on his name in the last 2 matches at an economy of 5. Towhid Hridoy has scored 107 runs in 2 matches at an average of 53.50 with a strike rate of 66.86.
