Pakistan's T20 Cricket Crisis: Alarming Stats Reveal Steep Decline
Pakistan’s recent T20 loss to Bangladesh raised eyebrows—especially given Pakistan’s historically strong record against them. But for seasoned fans, the defeat wasn’t shocking. Instead, it reinforced what many already feared: Pakistan’s dominance in T20 cricket is slipping away fast.

Once a T20 Powerhouse, Now Struggling for Relevance
There was a time when Pakistan was at the pinnacle of T20 cricket. Ranked No.1 in the world, the team boasted match-winners like Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Saeed Ajmal, Fakhar Zaman, and Babar Azam. That era painted a picture of a vibrant, consistent T20 force.
Now, that picture is fading fast—and the numbers don’t lie.

The Cold, Hard Facts
Since the beginning of 2022, no full ICC member has lost more T20 internationals than Pakistan. Once leaders in the shortest format, Pakistan now top the chart for most defeats—an unfortunate title that reflects deeper issues in the system.
Most T20I Defeats Since 2022 (ICC Full Members):
Team Matches Played Matches Lost W/L Ratio
Pakistan 73 39 0.794
West Indies 69 36 0.861
Zimbabwe 71 36 0.888
Bangladesh 69 35 0.914
Ireland 61 34 0.735
Cricwick’s data shows Pakistan not only leads in losses but has also shown no signs of improvement—suggesting systemic flaws rather than temporary form slumps.
Pakistan’s T20I Win Rates by Year:
Year Matches Played Wins Win Rate
2022 26 12 46.2%
2023 11 4 36.4%
2024 27 8 29.6%
2025 9 4 44.4%

Why Has It Gone So Wrong?
Pakistan’s decline in T20 cricket didn’t happen overnight. The game has evolved rapidly, and Pakistan has struggled to keep pace.
Where other nations have established clear playing styles and long-term leadership, Pakistan has remained inconsistent. Since 2022, the captaincy has bounced between Babar Azam, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, and Salman Ali Agha. Frequent leadership changes have created confusion rather than clarity.
Additionally, a revolving door of coaches and an inability to groom the next generation of players have widened the gap between Pakistan and other top teams.

A Wake-Up Call for PCB
These troubling stats should serve as a serious warning to the Pakistan Cricket Board. The once-feared T20 side is now faltering, stuck in an outdated system while other nations move forward with bold strategies and fresh energy.
Pakistan’s T20 machine isn’t just slowing down—it’s close to stalling. Without urgent reforms, the glory days may remain a distant memory.
