Rawalpindi: Heavy rains forced the abandonment of the final group-stage fixture of the Champions Trophy here on Thursday, bringing a disappointing end to the campaign for both teams.
Persistent showers left the outfield waterlogged, with large puddles forming around the ground, making any further play impossible.
Spectators who had gathered in anticipation of the contest were seen taking cover under umbrellas as the downpour intensified.
With neither side in contention for the knockout stages, the match was effectively a dead rubber. However, the rain-enforced conclusion seemed to mirror their struggles throughout the tournament, as both teams bowed out on a gloomy, rain-soaked evening in Rawalpindi.
