Pakistan will begin the 2023 ODI World Cup in India as one of the favourites to lift the trophy, but they will have their work cut out if they are to go all the way.

They have reached the pinnacle of the men's ODI game before, winning the title in 1992, but a lack of consistency since then has cost them on the biggest stage.

This year's tournament will also see a chance for them to renew rivalries with India, with the two set to meet on October 14.

Here's a look at Pakistan's past record at the ICC ODI men's tournament, and an assessment of their chances for the upcoming tournament in India.

Pakistan Cricket World Cup record: How many times has Pakistan won the ODI WC?

Pakistan reached the pinnacle of their success in 1992, when the Imran Khan-led team won the ODI World Cup.

That win stands as a defining moment in the country's cricket history, when they defeated England by 22 runs.

Imran Khan's all-round skills were crucial to the success of that team. His contributions with the ball and bat, spirited leadership, and a captain's knock of 71 in the final set the team up for a thrilling win over England. 

But they are yet to win another trophy.

Pakistan Cricket World Cup 2023 predictions, best bets and odds

A power-packed Pakistan team is ready to take the stage at the 2023 ODI World Cup. The likes of Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi and many more superstars are a part of their squad.

With a team like that, the chances of Pakistan making it to the finals are very high. However, they will need to have equal and consistent performances at the tail end of the tournament to ensure a second World Cup win — something Pakistan has struggled with in the past.
