The Sunday clash of clans seems to have affected Pakistan heavily, as sponsors are denying to partner with the team. Pakistan has been vulnerable since the tournament started. After months of hosting drama, the team itself has been out of the tournament after New Zealand crushed Bangladesh by 5 wickets. A few days ago, as a host, Pakistan was burning with confidence, especially after crowds turned up in the England vs. Australia match. But with the present condition of the home team, the officials are in darkness about whether fans will show up or not in the coming matches, with Pakistan been officially ruled out from the tournamnet. A PCB official anonymously said, "It was an uplifting experience to see people respond and enjoy a match not involving Pakistan. But now, the challenge is to ensure the crowds keep on coming for the remaining matches in Pakistan, because we are hosting such a big event after 29 years."

The tournament, the first ICC event in Pakistan since the 1996 World Cup, was expected to be a boost for both cricket and finances. However, New Zealand’s victory on Monday eliminated Pakistan, leaving the hosts in a precarious position. A source within the PCB’s commercial wing confirmed that while the board will still receive its hosting fees and ICC revenue share, gate receipts and local revenue streams will be hit. The bigger concern is the damage to Pakistan’s cricket brand. Despite immense cricketing passion in the country, the team’s failure is making it harder to attract sponsors and advertisers. The defeat to India has only worsened the situation, leading to criticism of PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who also serves as the federal interior minister. Fans argue that his focus on stadium upgrades—costing approximately 1.8 billion rupees—came at the cost of team performance. Critics on social media and YouTube blame his selection choices, adding to the turmoil. Marketing expert Tahir Reza warns that Pakistan’s weak economy already limits sponsorship budgets, and poor performances in marquee events push investors toward other entertainment sectors. With the 10th edition of the Pakistan Super League approaching, its financial success will indicate how severely the Champions Trophy failure has impacted Pakistan cricket’s marketability.
