Pakistan bowed out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 after New Zealand secured a five-wicket victory over Bangladesh in their Group A clash at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Monday. After their must-win defeat against India in Dubai, Pakistan’s semifinal hopes depended on Bangladesh pulling off an unlikely upset against the in-form Kiwis, but it wasn’t to be.
It is unfortunate that the hosts are already out of the tournament within a week. Pakistan cricket has several issues, with key players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan failing to step up. Additionally, instability in team management has been evident, reflected in their last 10 ICC campaigns.
Pakistan performance in last 10 ICC events
Pakistan’s performances in ICC events have not been great in recent years. They have won only one title in their last 10 ICC tournaments, with their Champions Trophy 2017 victory. In the T20 World Cup 2024 and ODI World Cup 2023, they failed to progress beyond the group stage, similar to their ODI World Cup 2019 and T20 World Cup 2016 campaigns. Their best recent finish came in the T20 World Cup 2022, where they ended as runners-up, while they reached the semi-finals in the T20 World Cup 2021.
In the World Test Championship 2021-23, they finished in seventh place. In the ODI World Cup 2015, they were quarter-finalists.
