Pakistan’s results in home tests since 2022

Pakistan’s rollercoaster journey in home Tests over the past few years has taken a dramatic turn. After enduring a dreadful three-year stretch without a single victory on home soil, a period marked by winless series against Australia, England, New Zealand, and even a shock whitewash by Bangladesh, the Men in Green finally broke their drought in style.

Pakistan’s Home Test Series Results (2022–2025)

1. Vs Australia:

The Pakistan vs Australia Test series in 2021/22 was a closely contested three-match encounter, with Australia emerging victorious 1-0. The first two Tests, played in Rawalpindi and Karachi, ended in draws, with both teams displaying strong performances, particularly Pakistan’s batting resilience in Karachi where Babar Azam scored a masterful 196 in the fourth innings. The series-deciding third Test in Lahore saw Australia claim a 115-run victory, thanks to a brilliant bowling display led by Nathan Lyon, who took five wickets on the final day, and Pat Cummins, who played a key role in both bowling and captaincy.

This win marked Australia’s first Test series victory in Asia since 2011 and ended their 11-year drought in Asian Test cricket, breaking the deadlock in the historic first series between the two teams in Pakistan since 1998.

2. Vs England:

England scripted history in December 2022 by completing a remarkable 3–0 Test series whitewash over Pakistan — their first-ever in the country and only the fourth time they achieved a clean sweep in an overseas series of three or more Tests. Ben Stokes’ men triumphed 74 runs in Rawalpindi, by 26 runs in Multan, and sealed an eight-wicket win in Karachi, chasing 167 inside 11.1 overs on Day 4.

Ben Duckett’s unbeaten 82 and captain Stokes’ 35* guided England home. Harry Brook emerged as the series’ standout with 468 runs at 93.60, while Ollie Robinson and Mark Wood led the bowling charge with 9 and 8 wickets respectively. The victory marked England’s first Test tour to Pakistan in 17 years and their ninth win in 10 Tests under the aggressive leadership duo of Stokes and Brendon McCullum, showcasing “Bazball” at its finest.

3. Vs New-Zealand:

The Pakistan vs New Zealand Test series in 2022/23 consisted of 2 matches and ended in a draw with a 0-0 result. In the first Test at Karachi, New Zealand scored a strong 612/9 declared in their first innings, with Kane Williamson scoring an unbeaten 200, while Pakistan replied with 438, including a resilient 161 from Babar Azam. The match was closely contested, with Pakistan declaring their second innings at 311/8 and New Zealand ending at 61/1 in their second innings before the match was drawn.

In the second Test, New Zealand batted first and scored 449 runs, with Devon Conway contributing 122. Pakistan responded with 408, featuring a maiden Test century from Saud Shakeel (125*). New Zealand declared their second innings at 277/5, and Pakistan fought back with Sarfaraz Ahmed scoring 118 in their chase to reach 304/9, narrowly avoiding defeat with the last pair holding out. Both teams earned 4 WTC points each from the series, which was marked by strong performances but no result after hard-fought battles in both matches.

4.Vs Bangladesh:

In the 2024 Test series between Pakistan and Bangladesh, Bangladesh achieved a historic 2-0 clean sweep in the two-match series in Pakistan. The second Test, played in Rawalpindi, saw Pakistan post 274 runs in their first innings with notable contributions from Saim Ayub (58) and Shan Masood (57), but their top order including Babar Azam (31) faltered. Bangladesh responded strongly with Litton Das scoring 138 and Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributing 78, while Shahzad took 6 wickets for 90 runs.

In their second innings, Pakistan struggled again, scoring just 172 with Agha Salman unbeaten on 47. Bangladesh chased down the target of 185 with six wickets in hand, led by Zakir Hasan’s 40 and steady contributions from Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mominul Haque. This victory marked only Bangladesh’s fourth overseas Test win in the last seven years and their first-ever Test series win in Pakistan, highlighting a milestone in their cricketing history while Pakistan suffered their second home Test series whitewash in three years.

5. Vs England:

Pakistan defeated England 2-1 in the 2024/25 three-Test series, showcasing a remarkable comeback after losing the first Test. In the second Test at Multan, Pakistan posted innings totals of 366 and 221, aided by debutant Kamran Ghulam’s century (118 off 224 balls), leading them to a 152-run victory. England struggled with batting, scoring 291 and 144 in their innings, where Pakistan spin bowlers Sajid Khan (6 wickets in the second Test) and Noman Ali (8 wickets in the second innings) dominated, becoming the first pair since 1972 to take all 20 wickets in a Test match.

The third Test saw Pakistan clinch the series with solid performances, with captain Shan Masood recording his first win in charge. Ben Duckett was a key performer for England, passing 2,000 Test runs during the series. Pakistan’s resilience and spirited bowling attack helped them overturn the series deficit to secure the win and 12 World Test Championship points, leaving England with none.
