PAK vs ENG: Pakistan become first team in history to play 200 T20Is
The Men in Green achieved the feat during their fourth T20I against England at National Stadium in Karachi.
Pakistan have become the first team in history to play 200 T20Is as they are currently taking on visitors England in the 4th game of the ongoing seven-match T20I series at the National Stadium in Karachi. England are currently leading the series 2-1.
The Men in Green featured in their first T20I back in 2006 and have been one of the most consistent outfits in the shortest format of the game since then. After tasting defeat at the hands of their arch-rivals India in the final of the inaugural edition of the T20 World cup in 2007, the Asian giants bounced back in tremendous fashion, clinching their maiden title in the 2009 edition of the tournament.
The official Twitter handle of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) shared a post to celebrate their 200th T20I, which read, "A journey that began in 2006, We are playing our 200th T20I today – the first team to achieve this landmark."
'I feel like hitting people around me when I see Pakistan losing' : Ramiz Raja
The hosts were humbled by a new look English side in the third T20I after yet another poor showing from the middle-order batters. PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja admitted to being a 'bad loser' and said that he wants his side to win every time they are on the ground.
“I’ve told my team that we need to win. It’s as simple as that because people want us to win all the time. So, if they lose, I just can’t take it. I’m a bad loser. I feel like hitting people around me when I see Pakistan losing. I am a very terrible watcher, actually. I get scolded at home because I offend everybody completely," Raja was quoted as saying by Geo TV.
