Pakistan in the calendar year started off poorly with the Champions trophy exit and had an almost winless tour of New Zealand winning just one twenty20 international in the entire tour. Then their year got better in October winning one test match against mighty South Africa who are the reigning World test champions.
In November Pakistan proved to be almost unbeatable with wins against South Africa in the twenty20 internationals and ODI series. They then went on to defeat Sri Lanka in the ODI series 3-0. After that they defeated Sri Lanka in the Final of the Twenty20 international Tri nations series also featuring Zimbabwe.
Thus in the later part of the year Pakistan's performance improved although they had an another low of being defeated for the first time in ODI series in 34 years against the West Indies by 2-1 margin.
In the end what I would like to say is that Pakistan made a huge recovery in the later part of the year by defeating a strong team like South Africa after having a disastrous start to the year.
