CONSISTENT SEMI-FINALIST OR CHOKERS

Well it will be an understatement to call Pakistan among the top 4 teams of the world in the game of cricket. 6th consecutive (at least) semi-finals is some feat, out of which they have won 2 to proceed to finals and their last major world cup victory (famous win at Lords in 2009, beating Srilanka by 8 wkts chasing an under-par score) coming during this fertile period.

The concerning things is their chocking in semi-finals. While in Champions Trophy no one can believe the loss to much inferior New Zealand, their 2nd last such stage lost to India a year ago was also tainted as pre-setup game.

When it comes to shortest form, their last 2 of total 4 attempts to reach the final has been disappointing.

In 2010 Mike Hussey snatched the game in last 20 balls in as good innings as you will see in T20 ever.

While in latest version in Srilanka, they lost to home team by 16 runs in Colombo, played on one of worst pitch to be honored an international mega event game.

While one can argue about the dryness of the pitch but they are also many reasons than this responsible for departure of the Greens from the ICC WORLD T20.
