The embarrassing exit from the Champions Trophy 2025 marks the third straight ICC event that Pakistan has failed to perform. According to recent statistics, which compare the number of matches played and won by teams in the last three ICC events (2023 ODI World Cup, 2024 T20I World Cup, and 2025 Champions Trophy), Pakistan has won just 6 out of 15 matches in the major tournaments.
The numbers paint a concerning picture for Pakistan cricket, especially when juxtaposed with the dominance of arch-rivals India.
Teams With Most Wins in Last 3 ICC Events
| Team | Matches Played | Wins |
|---|---|---|
| India | 21 | 20 |
| South Africa | 20 | 16 |
| Australia | 19 | 15 |
| Afghanistan | 19 | 10 |
| New Zealand | 16 | 9 |
| England | 19 | 7 |
| Pakistan | 15 | 6 |
| West Indies | 7 | 5 |
| Bangladesh | 18 | 5 |
| Sri Lanka | 12 | 3 |
| Netherlands | 13 | 3 |
Pakistan’s performance not only places them well below not only traditional cricketing giants like India and Australia but also Afghanistan who have won 10 out of 19 matches. Even England, who have struggled in recent tournaments, managed to win 7 out of 19 matches, edging out Pakistan in terms of total victories. It is also worth noting, that Pakistan is just above West Indies on the list, who competed in only one of the last three ICC events (the 2024 T20I World Cup), securing 5 wins out of 7 matches.
India has emerged as the most successful team in the last three ICC tournaments, winning an astounding 20 out of 21 matches, a win percentage of over 95%. One of the most surprising statistics comes from Afghanistan, who have won 10 out of 19 matches, surpassing teams like New Zealand, England, and Pakistan.
