Tests

Pakistan was formed following the partition of India and subsequent formation of Pakistan in 1947, and Test cricket first made its debut there in 1952.

Since then, Pakistan has established itself as one of the most passionate and fiercely competitive sides on the international scene; winning one Cricket World Cup, three T20 World Cups and the Champions Trophy while finishing as runners up in several tournaments including ICC Test Championship.

Pakistan’s cricket team was widely accused of match-fixing in 2010, prompting widespread accusations and scandal. Since then, however, Pakistan has attempted to rebuild their image as legitimate and exciting cricket team; helped by being pitted against archrival India so often and their matches always producing plenty of drama and entertainment.

Pakistan openers Babar Azam and Shan Masood formed an unbroken 205-run partnership at Newlands to keep their side in contention after they were forced to follow on after they had to follow on after they were forced to follow on, but were both eventually dismissed by Kagiso Rabada and Corbin Bosch quickly after. Pakistan collapsed from there to 261-9 in two days’ play.

Pakistan remains one of the most captivating teams to follow, but their results can often be unpredictable. Comprised of talented individuals without much structure, Pakistan can provide exciting cricket one day and underwhelm on another; yet still remains fascinating as an opponent and often ranks amongst the top 10 in Tests.
