Pakistan team led by prolific batter Babar Azam will formally play their first match of ICC World Cup 2023 against the Netherlands on October 6.
Here are some facts and figures regarding the Pakistan Cricket Team and at the bottom is the Pakistan’s schedule for World Cup 2023.
Babar Azam’s side will enter the mega-event as the number two ranked ODI side and enjoys the best win/loss ratio of 2.400 in this World Cup cycle.
Pakistan missed out on a semi-final spot in the 2019 iteration of the World Cup because of a lower net run-rate to New Zealand, who ended up as runners-up. The team’s best performance came in the 1992 edition when they lifted the trophy at the MCG after defeating England. Pakistan featured in the final of the 1999 edition and reached semi-finals in 1979, 1983, 1987, and 2011.
