Pakistan started off their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on a disappointing note as they lost to co-hosts USA in Super Over on Thursday. It was latest in the list of defeats for the Pakistan team, which has been on the slide since the 2022 T20 World Cup, where they made the final.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have had four different chairpersons during this period and they even experimented with a different captain in Shaheen Afridi for a single series, only to abandon those plans before the marquee tournament and reappoint Babar Azam as the captain.
Pakistan was also one of the WC teams who did not play any warm-up matches. Instead, they opted to participate in a 3-match T20 series and 4-match T20 series, against Ireland and England, respectively.
How have Pakistan performed since the T20 cricket since World Cup 2022?
Pakistan have performed poorly, managing to win just 9 out of their 27 T20Is since the 2022 T20 World Cup. Among the 9 wins, 6 of them have come against relatively weaker oppositions (1 vs Hong Kong, 2 vs Ireland and 3 vs a weakened New Zealand team).
The team headed into the World Cup T20 2024 on the back of a loss in the 4-match series against England, in which they lost 2 and the remaining 2 games were abandoned due to rain.
The table below quickly highlights how the Pakistan cricket team have performed in their last 24 T20Is since finishing as runners-up in the 2022 tournament:
