The year 2024 proved challenging for the Pakistan cricket, with several highs and lows.
The national team suffered significant setbacks, notably in the Test format, where they faced a historic defeat at home. Bangladesh defeated Pakistan in a Test series for the first time ever, inflicting a whitewash on the home side.
In T20I matches, Pakistan experienced unexpected defeats against relatively weaker teams such as the United States, Zimbabwe, and Ireland. These losses left fans disappointed and questioning the team’s form and strategy.
However, there were moments of redemption. Pakistan secured notable victories in the One-Day International (ODI) format.
The team achieved success on foreign soil, winning a series in Australia, their first ODI series win there in 22 years.
Additionally, they managed to whitewash South Africa in a home ODI series, a first for Pakistan in this format against the Proteas on their home ground.
Despite the mixed results, 2024 ended with contrasting fortunes for Pakistan, as the team both triumphed and faltered across various formats.
