The Champions Trophy 2025 proved to be a disappointing journey for both the Pakistan cricket team and the country. The tournament was 19 days, but Pakistan’s team was out in just six days, while the tournament for the country ended in 15 days.
Pakistan was hosted by the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 after 29 years, but neither the team nor the board could take advantage of the opportunity. The most interesting thing is that the host was with Pakistan, but the finals are not happening in Pakistan.

How the tournament for Pakistan ended quickly?

Pakistan’s journey ends: 24 February 2025
Last match in Pakistan: 5 March 2025
Tournament final (in Dubai): 9 March 2025
New Zealand defeated Bangladesh on 24 February to drop Pakistan out of the semi -finals. Pakistan’s last league match was washed away in rain, which did not affect.
Now that Team India has reached the finals, this will not be in Pakistan. The final will be played in Dubai on 9 March.
Pakistan’s big failure: hosts but also lost due to final hosting
Pakistan got a chance to host a big ICC tournament for the first time since 1996, but both the board and the team failed to capitalize on it.
First semi -final – Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Second semi -final – Played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan.
Final – will be played not in Pakistan, but in Dubai.
That is, the tournament for Pakistan has ended four days before the final.
Will Pakistan get this opportunity again?
Pakistan has officially got the status of hosting the tournament, but the team’s performance was poor.
Pakistan’s semi -final expectations were already over after the last league match was washed away in the rain.
In future, Pakistan may find it difficult to get a chance to host a big tournament, as the ICC is already strict about security and event.
Pakistan will have to improve the performance of its cricket board and team, otherwise it can be difficult to get such a big hosting next time.
