Pakistan vs Bangladesh 3rd Twenty20 International 2025

Pakistan achieved what they wanted to achieve that is 3-0 whitewash of Bangladesh in the twenty20 international series in Lahore. The 3rd twenty20 international was a lot closer as compared to the first two twenty20 internationals with Bangladesh piling up a huge total of 196 runs in their allotted twenty overs.

Although Sahibzada Farhan went early , Muhammad Haris and Saim Ayub kept up the momentum and kept themselves abreast the run rate of 10 runs an over to easily chase Bangladesh's total of 196 runs with plenty of overs to spare and by 7 wickets.

Throughout the series Muhammad Haris showed a lot of potential and he has easily taken Muhammad Rizwan's place in the twenty20 team. Muhammad Haris bats with a better strike rate than Muhammad Rizwan and is a bit of a dasher. In twenty20 cricket we need a batsmen like Muhammad  Haris who can bat with better strike rates.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan shouldnt get complacent after just one series win in twenty20  against Bangladesh and they need to be consistent. 

Pakistan 's performance in World Test Championship (2023-2025)

 

Pakistan' s  performance in 2023-2025 World Test Championship was pathetic to say the least. Out of 10 test matches played in this test championship cycle Pakistan won just 4 and lost 6 test matches giving them a negative win/loss ratio and finishing last at the bottom of the test championship table. They finished even below West Indies which is a team which ranks below them in ICC test rankings that indicates their bad performance. 

After winning the series against England at home 2-1 a lot was expected of Pakistan cricket team that they would whitewash West Indies 2-0 in the test series at home in Multan. Instead West Indies drew the test series 1-1 with them after preparing a sharp turner of a pitch which back fired as Pakistan's own batsmen couldn't cope with the spin of Warrican.

In the end I would like to congratulate South African cricket team as they won the ICC World test championship title 2023-2025 defeating Australia in the final to win only their second ICC title the first being ICC knockout tournament in 1998 under Hansie Cronje's captaincy. 

Pakistan is a proud cricketing nation

 

Pakistan has achieved so much in cricket in its national history that i rate cricket is now Pakistan's national sport instead of hockey. We are a cricket mad nation and the craze we show in this sport is hardly witnessed in any other sport. People of all segments of society may it be rich and poor and of all age groups are absolutely crazy about this sport.

Pakistan has also been very successful nation with positive winning percentage in all three formats of the game that is test, odi, twenty20. In test matches Pakistan have won 150 matches and lost 146 matches. In ODI's Pakistan have won 519 matches and lost 430 matches. In Twenty20 International's Pakistan have won 144 matches and lost 98 matches. These statistics are updated to upto 24th December 2024.

In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan has always been talented in cricket throughout his history.
