Pakistan cricket team is the biggest example of what is the effect of constant reshuffle, everyday upheaval and lack of unity. The performance of this team has been continuously declining for the last few years but the year 2024 has proved to be the worst for it. Especially Pakistan, which was once considered the most powerful team in T20 cricket, has suffered the worst fate this year. With superstars like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Shah Afridi but these players who clash with each other, Pakistan left behind even small countries like Maldives, Mongolia, Nepal in terms of losing T20 matches this year.
This truth of the Pakistani team playing T20 series on Australia tour has come to light after another crushing defeat. Pakistan lost by 7 wickets in the last match of the 3 T20 match series in Hobart. Batting first, Pakistan scored only 117 runs in this match, which Australia achieved in just 11.2 overs. With this, Australia completely eliminated Pakistan by winning all three matches of the series.
This defeat in Hobart was the 13th defeat of the Pakistani team in T20 International this year. With this, Pakistan reached second place among the teams that lost the most T20 matches in 2024. Here it equaled a team like Oman, which has lost 13 matches. Not only this, this year Pakistan also left behind teams like Mongolia, Myanmar, Maldives (all three lost 12-12), Rwanda and Malaysia (10-10 defeat), who have no special identity in the world of cricket. Is. That means Pakistan became number 1 this year in terms of most defeats among full member countries (Test playing teams).
This year, in the T20 World Cup, the Pakistani team, which was eliminated in the group stage after losing to a new team like America, could not win even half the matches. Pakistan has played a total of 22 T20 matches so far this year, in which it could win only 7, while it lost 13. Whereas 2 matches remained inconclusive. Only Indonesia is ahead of Pakistan, which lost 15 matches this year. In comparison to all this, Team India lost only 2 matches this year and also won the T20 World Cup. Now Pakistan has to play a T20 series against Zimbabwe also and looking at the current situation, it should not be a surprise if Pakistan gets defeated there too.
