Pakistan beat England on Monday to become the most successful Asian team in terms of numbers of wins in all three formats – Test, ODIs and T20s.
After the victory, Pakistan now boasts a higher total number of matches won and a higher win percentage when compared to the other two cricket powerhouses in the region, India and Sri Lanka. The team was already leading in the win percentage category but was tied with India in total wins in the Tests category.
The men in green have played 394 Test matches to date, winning 125 of them with a win percentage of 31.7 — the highest among Asian cricketing powers.
Interestingly, team India beat Sri Lanka in the number of wins 124-75 but the Islanders stand on higher ground when win rates are compared, edging India with a win percentage of 30.8.
In ODIs, Pakistan has been involved in 851 outings with 451 wins in their basket. That equates to a win percentage of 52.9. India has bagged 450 wins from 891 ODIs accumulating a win percentage of 50.5. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka has a win percentage of 47.2 with 358 wins from 757 innings. Pakistan once again wins the race in both metrics.
In T20s, Pakistan is well settled with 56 wins from 92 matches – a win percentage of 60.8. However, Sri Lanka might not have enough wins in their pocket (42 wins from 69 matches) but they stand shoulder to shoulder with Pakistan in terms of win percentage that is 60.8.
India, on the other hand, have won 31 T20s out of the 57 they have played which gives them a win percentage of 54.3.
Pakistan will be taking on England in the third Test from November 1 and if they are able to pull another victory against Alastair Cook-led side, they will move further above India in terms of number of matches won in Tests.
