Pakistan’s Struggles in T20I Cricket in 2024: A Record No Team Wants
Pakistan’s disappointing run in T20 Internationals (T20I) in 2024 has led to an unwanted record, as they share the dubious distinction of most T20I losses this year with Rwanda. Both teams have suffered 16 defeats, but Pakistan played 27 matches, while Rwanda played just 24.
This statistic highlights a concerning trend for Pakistan cricket, as the team has struggled with inconsistency and a lack of cohesion throughout the year. Despite Pakistan’s rich cricketing heritage, they have been unable to find a winning combination in T20I matches, with defeats coming against both major cricketing nations and underdog teams.

- Matches Played: 27
- Wins: 9
- Losses: 16
- Winning Percentage: 33.33%
- Losing Percentage: 59.25%
Pakistan’s inclusion in this list alongside smaller cricketing nations like Rwanda, Bhutan, and Indonesia underscores the team’s struggles this year and raises serious questions about their T20I performance.
The alarming record is expected to prompt changes in the team management, squad selection, and leadership roles, with a renewed focus on developing young talent and finding stability in leadership positions. Once a dominant force in the T20 format, Pakistan will need a strong response to regain their competitive edge in the shortest format of the game.
