RAWALPINDI, Pakistan — Rain has forced the abandonment of the Pakistan-Bangladesh game in the Champions Trophy in Rawalpindi. The square remained under covers all day due to persistent rain before the umpires finally called off the game at 3:30 p.m. local time, about 1 1/2 hours after its scheduled start on Thursday. Both teams were already eliminated from semifinals contention after losing to India and New Zealand. The rainout is a disappointing last tournament appearance for both, especially Pakistan, the host and defending champion. Rain in Rawalpindi also washed out the South Africa-Australia Group B game on Tuesday.
