Despite being the hosts of the Champions Trophy, Pakistan has been eliminated from the tournament without securing a single win. The Pakistani team was defeated by New Zealand in their opening match and by India in their second. This marks a disappointing result for Pakistan, which had hoped for a better performance while hosting the ICC tournament for the first time in 29 years.

Following the loss to India on Sunday, captain Mohammad Rizwan admitted that Pakistan's journey in the ICC Champions Trophy had come to an end.

The team's underperformance has led to criticism at home, with questions being raised about the team selection, as well as the leadership of captain Mohammad Rizwan, and the performances of Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi.
