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.
