Pakistan have been one of the most competitive T20 sides. But, they have also suffered some of the most shattering defeats in T20 cricket. Two of the most heart-breaking defeats were against Australia in 2010 World T20 semi-final and the final of the first edition in 2007 against India in a profusely close game.

They turned the tables perfectly at the next edition in 2009 in England by beating Sri Lanka to become the champions. Pakistan reached Sri Lanka's target of 139 in 18.4 overs, with Shahid Afridi hitting the winning runs. This was Pakistan's second ICC World title since the 1992 World Cup victory.
They have played 133 T20Is, winning 83 of them and losing only 47 with three going as no-results. We take a look at their best XI in the shortest format.

Aayushman is a cricket journalist at Sportskeeda who covers news, features and listicles. A Finance graduate with a diploma in journalism, he has a total work experience of around 7 years and has bylines at reputed websites like Free Press Journal, Cricket Addictor, and Roar. Aayushman believes in presenting all the relevant information and facts in his articles to let the readers form their own opinions. His exploits in the industry have led to interview former Australia stalwart David Hussey.
A former Tata Consultancy Services employee, Aayushman has been supporting the Australian men's national team after being impressed with their aggressive and never-say-die attitude in the 2003 ICC World Cup. His favorite cricketer is Steve Smith, whose tremendous self-belief in his methods, despite them being unorthodox, inspire him a lot. Smith’s performances from 2019 Ashes Series only fueled this inspiration further. He would like to revisit the 2015 ICC World Cup semi-final clash between India and Australia if ever got hold of a time machine.
When not working, Aayushman loves to spend his spare time reading fiction books and watching one of his favorite television shows Grey's Anatomy.
