The team has played 894 ODIs, winning 474, losing 394, tying 8 with 18 ending in no - result. Pakistan was the 1992 World Cup champion, and was the runner - up in the 1999 tournament. Pakistan, in conjunction with other countries in South Asia, has hosted the 1987 and 1996 World Cups, with the 1996 final being hosted at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The team has also played 133 Twenty20 Internationals, the most of any team, winning 83 losing 47 and tying 3. Pakistan won the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 and were runners - up in the inaugural tournament in 2007. Pakistan also won the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy for the first time, defeating India national cricket team. Pakistan has the distinct achievement of having won each of the major ICC international cricket tournaments : ICC Cricket World Cup, ICC World Twenty20, and ICC Champions Trophy ; as well as the ICC Test Championship. Pakistan has played 414 Test matches, with winning 134, losing 123 and drawing 158. The team has the fourth - best win / loss ratio in Test cricket of 1.09, and the fourth - best overall win percentage of 32.19 % ( behind Australia, South Africa and England ). Pakistan was given Test status on 28 July 1952, following a recommendation by India, and made its Test debut against India at Feroz Shah Kotla Ground, Delhi, in October 1952, with India winning by an innings and 70 runs. In the 1930s and 40s, several Pakistani Test players had played Test cricket for the Indian cricket team before the creation of Pakistan in 1947. As of 5 July 2018, the Pakistani cricket team is ranked seventh in Tests, fifth in ODIs and first in T20Is by the ICC. In the past, Pakistan has suffered a lot from terrorism which prevented foreign teams from visiting Pakistan primarily due to the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team. As a result, their home matches have been mostly held in the United Arab Emirates since then. However, due to a massive decrease in terrorism in Pakistan over the past few years, as well as the sharp increase in security, many teams have toured Pakistan since 2015 and the situation appears to be getting better. These teams include Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, West Indies, and the ICC World XI made of mostly South African and Australian players.

The first ever international cricket match in Karachi was held on 22 November 1935 between Sindh and Australian cricket teams. The match was seen by 5,000 Karachiites. Following the independence of Pakistan in 1947, cricket in the country developed rapidly and Pakistan was given Test match status at a meeting of the Imperial Cricket Conference at Lord 's in England on 28 July 1952 following recommendation by India, which, being the successor state of the British Raj, did not have to go through such a process. The first captain of the Pakistan national cricket team was Abdul Hafeez Kardar. Pakistan 's first Test match was played in Delhi in October 1952 as part of a five Test series which India won 2 -- 1. Pakistan made their first tour of England in 1954 and drew the series 1 -- 1 after a memorable victory at The Oval in which fast bowler Fazal Mahmood took 12 wickets. Pakistan 's first home Test match was against India in January 1955 at Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dacca, East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh ), after which four more Test matches were played in Bahawalpur, Lahore, Peshawar and Karachi ( all five matches in the series were drawn, the first such occurrence in Test history ). The team is considered a strong but unpredictable team. Traditionally Pakistani cricket has been composed of talented players but is alleged to display limited discipline on occasion, making their performance inconsistent at times. In particular, the India - Pakistan cricket rivalry is usually emotionally charged and can provide for intriguing contests, as talented teams and players from both sides of the border seek to elevate their game to new levels. Pakistani contests with India in the Cricket World Cup have resulted in packed stadiums and highly charged atmospheres. The team is well supported at home and abroad, especially in the United Kingdom where British Pakistanis have formed a fan - club called the `` Stani Army ''. Members of the club show up to matches across the country and are known to provide raucous support. The Stani Army also takes part in charity initiatives for underprivileged Pakistanis, including annual friendly cricket matches against British Indian members of the similar `` Bharat Army ''. 1986 Austral - Asia Cup Main article : Austral - Asia Cup The 1986 Austral - Asia Cup, played in Sharjah in UAE, is remembered for a famous last - ball victory for Pakistan against arch - rivals India, with Javed Miandad emerging as a national hero. India batted first and set a target of 245 runs, leaving Pakistan with a required run rate of 4.92 runs per over. Miandad came in to bat at number 3 and Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals. Later recalling the match, he stated that his main focus was to lose with dignity. With 31 runs needed in the last three overs, Miandad hit a string of boundaries while batting with his team 's lower order, until four runs were required from the last delivery of the match. Miandad received a leg side full toss from Chetan Sharma, which he hit for six over the midwicket boundary. 1992 cricket World Cup Main article : 1992 Cricket World Cup Pakistani opener Yasir Hameed playing against Australia at Lord 's in England. At the 1992 World Cup Semi-final, having won the toss, New Zealand chose to bat first and ended with a total of 262 runs. Pakistan batted conservatively yet lost wickets at regular intervals. With the departure of Imran Khan and Saleem Malik shortly thereafter, Pakistan still required 115 runs at a rate of 7.67 runs per over with veteran Javed Miandad being the only known batsman remaining at the crease. A young Inzamam - ul - Haq, who had just turned 22 and was not a well - known player at the time, burst onto the international stage with a match - winning 60 off 37 balls. Once Inzamam got out, Pakistan required 36 runs from 30 balls, which wicketkeeper Moin Khan ended with a towering six over long off, followed by the winning boundary to midwicket. The match is seen as the emergence of Inzamam onto the international stage. The 1992 Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand marked Pakistan 's first World Cup victory. It is remembered for the comeback Pakistan made after losing key players such as Waqar Younis and Saeed Anwar and being led by an injured captain Imran Khan. Pakistan lost 3 of their first 5 matches and were nearly eliminated in the first round of the tournament after being bowled out for 74 runs against England, until the match was declared as a `` no result '' due to rain. Imran Khan famously told the team to play as `` cornered tigers '', after which Pakistan won five successive matches, including, most famously, the semi-final against hosts New Zealand and the final against England. 2007 cricket World Cup The 2007 Cricket World Cup was one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history when Pakistan was knocked out of the competition in a shock defeat to Ireland, who were playing in their first competition. Pakistan, needing to win to qualify for the next stage after losing to the West Indies in their opening match, were put into bat by Ireland. They lost wickets regularly and only 4 batsmen scored double figures. In the end they were bowled out by the Irish for 132 runs. The Irish went on to win the match, after Niall O'Brien scored 72 runs. This meant that Pakistan had been knocked out during the first round for the second consecutive World Cup. Tragedy struck the team when coach Bob Woolmer died one day later on 18 March 2007 in a hospital in Kingston, Jamaica. Jamaican police spokesman, Karl Angell, reported on 23 March 2007 that, `` Mr Woolmer 's death was due to asphyxiation as a result of manual strangulation '' and that, `` Mr Woolmer 's death is now being treated by the Jamaica police as a case of murder. '' Assistant coach Mushtaq Ahmed acted as temporary coach for the team 's final group game of the tournament. Subsequent to his team 's defeat and the death of Woolmer, Inzamam - ul - Haq announced his resignation as captain of the team and his retirement from one - day cricket, stating that he would continue to take part in Test cricket but not as captain. Shoaib Malik was announced as his successor. Following his return to the squad, Salman Butt was appointed as vice-captain until December 2007. On 23 March 2007, Pakistan players and officials were questioned by Jamaican police and submitted DNA samples along with fingerprints, as part of the routine enquiries in the investigation into Woolmer 's murder. Three days after leaving the West Indies for Pakistan, via London, the Pakistan team were ruled out as suspects. The deputy commissioner of Jamaican police. Mark Shields, the detective in charge of the investigation, announced, `` It 's fair to say they are now being treated as witnesses. '' `` I have got no evidence to suggest it was anybody in the squad. '' A memorial service was held in Sacred Heart Church, Lahore, for Bob Woolmer on 1 April 2007. Among the attendees were Pakistan players and dignitaries, including Inzamam - ul - Haq, who was quoted as saying, `` After Woolmer 's family, the Pakistan team was the most aggrieved by his death. '' After the World Cup ended, serious doubts were raised about the investigation, with increasing speculation that Woolmer died of natural causes. This has now been accepted as fact, and the case has been closed. Shahid Afridi batting against Sri Lanka in the ICC World Twenty20 Final at Lord 's in England. On 20 April 2007, a PCB official announced that former Test cricketer Talat Ali would act as interim coach, in addition to his rôle as team manager, until a new coach had been appointed. On 16 July 2007, Geoff Lawson, previously head coach of New South Wales, was appointed coach of the Pakistan for two years, becoming the third foreigner to take on the rôle.

Sri Lanka finished on 138 / 6 from 20 overs.

Pakistan 's win, often cheered on by crowds of fans from England 's Pakistani communities, marked its first world title since Imran Khan 's `` cornered tigers '' had won the 1992 World Cup. `` We all know how important this World Cup was with so much happening in Pakistan, '' Afridi said. `` The guys motivated themselves for this World Cup. '' Afridi had a quiet start to the tournament with the bat but responded strongly with match - winning half - centuries in the semi-final and final. He also took 11 wickets in the tournament. He said the support staff, including the head coach Intikhab Alam and bowling coach Aaqib Javed, played a role in shaping the team 's victory. `` They all really worked hard with the guys and kept them united and close to each other, that 's why we had success, '' Afridi said.

Pakistan was in group 2 with India, Australia, New Zealand and Bangladesh. Pakistan started their World T20 campaign with a victory defeating Bangladesh by a margin of 55 runs.

In terms of matches, they played total of 72 matches, winning 20 and losing 12 with 40 draws. In 1987, Pakistan went to India for five match series. It was Sunil Gavaskar 's last test series. The first four test went draw but the final match was thriller. Pakistan scored 116 before India scored 145. Pakistan came back with 249 on board, giving the host a target of 220. India fell 16 runs short and the series was considered as one of the best India - Pakistan series. In 1988, after West Indies tour where they drew 1 - 1 ( 3 ), Pakistan were rated as No. 1 Test team. It was one of greatest moments in their history. From 1990 to 1999, Pakistan did even better. They played 29 series, winning over 15 and losing 9 with 5 drawn. In terms of matches, they played 74, winning 40, losing 21 and drawing 13. In this period, the lowest point of for Pakistan came in 1998 where they lost to Zimbabwe 1 - 0 in three match series. The biggest moment came in Asian Test Championship in 1998 where they defeated Sri Lanka in the final by an innings and 175 runs. 21st century In 2002, Pakistan participated in their second Asian Test Championship. It was originally planned to include all four Asian ICC full - members ( Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka ). However, before the tournament started, India 's participation was put in doubt. After defeating Bangladesh in the 1st Test to meet Sri Lanka in the final, they were defeated by them by 8 wickets. Main article : 2006 ball - tampering controversy A major controversy occurred in 2006 when the team toured England for a four match Test series. England led the series 2 - 0 going into the final Test. In the first innings of that match they were bowled out for 173 and Pakistan scored 504 in reply. In the second innings, after the dismissal of Alastair Cook for 83 off a reverse - swinging from Umar Gul, umpires Darrell Hair and Billy Doctrove called a halt to play as they adjudged Pakistan to be guilty of ball tampering. The ball was replaced and England were awarded 5 penalty runs. This event was the catalyst for the subsequent refusal to continue the match after tea by the Pakistan team. Based on the Laws of Cricket, the umpires declared Pakistan to have forfeited the game. The ICC later changed the result of the match to a draw, and subsequently re-instated the original result on 1 February 2009. 2010 spot fixing scandal Main article : Pakistan cricket spot - fixing scandal The Pakistan cricket team toured England from 29 July to 22 September 2010. The tour consisted of four Tests, two T20Is and five ODIs. During the Test series, Pakistan lost the first two Test by 354 runs and 9 wickets. They came back to win the third Test by 4 wickets. However, in the fourth Test, the spot - fixing took place. On the third day of the 4th Test, British newspaper News of the World published a story with allegations that an agent loosely affiliated with some of the Pakistani players ( later identified as Mazhar Majeed ) had accepted a £ 150,000 ( US $232,665 ) bribe from undercover reporters for information that two Pakistani bowlers ( Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir ) would deliberately deliver no balls at specific points during the match. The third player was also caught. It was Pakistan 's Test skipper Salman Butt, who was revealed to be the master mind of this case. On 1 November 2011, Asif, Amir, and Butt were found guilty for their part in the spot - fixing and were given prison sentences, ranging from six months to 30 months and now Amir played well. Under Misbah ul Haq After Amir, Asif and Butt were dismissed, Pakistan made Misbah ul Haq the new captain of Pakistan. In subsequent series against South Africa in the UAE he led Pakistan in tests. After resignation of Shahid Afridi as test captain and suspension of Salman Butt due to spot - fixing scandal, Misbah was preferred over Younus Khan, Mohammad Yousuf and Kamran Akmal as captain. Wasim Akram stated that although the decision was surprising, if Misbah bats and fields well everything else will go according to plan. Former Pakistan coach Geoff Lawson stated that he believed Misbah has the best cricketing brain within Pakistan and he will do incredibly well in the plans for the captaincy Misbah hit back at those who criticised the decision to appoint him captain and stated that he should be given a chance to prove himself. In Misbah 's first series against South Africa in UAE 2010, he led the two match Test series to draw 0 - 0. Later the team toured New Zealand where they won two match Test series 1 - 0. Pakistan also went to West Indies and Zimbabwe for two Match and lone Test match. They drew 1 - 1 and won 1 - 0 over West Indies and Zimbabwe respectively. They also won against the touring Sri Lankan team, winning 1 - 0 ( 3 ) and whitewashed Bangladesh 2 - 0 ( 2 ). One of the most biggest moment for Pakistan under Misbah 's captaincy was when they whitewashed England, the then no. 1 side, who toured UAE in early 2012. Mohsin Khan, the Pakistan coach, compared his team 's whitewash against England to the 1992 Cricket World Cup triumph. `` Today is like a dream come true, '' Mohsin told Sky Sports. `` It 's not a very experienced team but it 's very talented. Today, the captain and all the players have proved they are one of the best in the world. It 's a great achievement for the Pakistan team. '' Against the South Africa cricket team in 2013 tour, they were badly whitewashed by the Proteas by 3 - 0 ( 3 ). In first Test, they were bowled out for 49, the worst in their history. That was considered to be worst performance against top side. At the same year, they also got their second defeat to Zimbabwe when Pakistan toured for two match Test series. The series was drawn 1 - 1. In early 2014, against Sri Lanka who toured UAE for 3 match series, Pakistan were down 1 - 0 after two match. In the final match, the first four days went nowhere until the early fifth day when Pakistan managed to bowl out the Sri Lankan cricket team for 214 and were asked to chase 301 in last two and a half session. Pakistan chased it down in 57.3 overs, the fastest chase in Test cricket history. Another greatest performance from Pakistan is when they whitewashed the touring Australian cricket team. After beating Pakistan 1 - 0 in T20Is and 3 - 0 in ODIs, Pakistan were doubtful to win a two match Test series against the tourist. However, Pakistan won the matches by 221 runs and 356 runs. The win in the second Test was their highest winning margin against any opposition in their history. Also in the same match, Misbah equaled the then fastest Test match century off 56 deliveries. Against New Zealand, who toured Pakistan for 3 Test match series. After winning the first Test, Misbah became Pakistan 's most successful Test captain win 15 wins, taking over Imran Khan and Javed Miandad 's joint 14 win record. The series went to draw 1 - 1 ( 3 ). Another moment for Pakistan under Misbah was when Pakistan toured Sri Lanka and defeated them in three match Test series. There, it was the first time Pakistan defeat Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka after 9 years. And when England toured UAE for three match Test series, Pakistan defeated them 2 - 0 ( 3 ). As a resulted, they climbed to No. 2 in Test rankings, also after 9 years. Rise to No. 1 in Tests and downfall In 2016, Pakistan became No. 1 Test team after their tour of England, where they drew series 2 - 2 ( 4 ). It was the first time since ranking system where introduce, they were crowned No. 1 and first time since 1988. It was another great achievement in Pakistan 's Test history. They were also given Test mace in Lahore. However, their No. 1 rank was short lived as their downfall began. After winning the series against the West Indies 2 - 1 ( 3 ) in UAE, Pakistan toured New Zealand and Australia for two match and three match Test series. They lost all five matches plus one lost against West Indies. They were down at No. 5 in rankings. Misbah was considering retirement after the Australia tour but stayed till West Indies tour, saying he got ' one last job to do '. Despite having major upsets in the southern continent, Pakistan were triumphant in the West Indies tour of 2017, having won the T20 series 3 - 1, the ODI series by 2 - 1, and winning a thriller in the 3rd test to seal it 2 - 1. Misbah - ul - Haq and Younus Khan retired after, with the captaincy going to Sarfraz Ahmed. Governing body Main article : Pakistan Cricket Board The Pakistan Cricket Board ( PCB ) is responsible for all first class and Test cricket played in Pakistan and by the Pakistan cricket team. It was admitted to the International Cricket Council in July 1953. The corporation has been run by former cricketers, professional administrators and trustees, who are often respected businessmen. The Board governs a network of teams sponsored by corporations and banks, city associations and clubs including advertising, broadcasting rights and internet partners.
