PAK vs ENG: England, known as the father of cricket, is showing no signs of ending to its poor performance in ODI cricket on Pakistani soil. The England cricket team is yearning for its first ODI win on Pakistani soil since 2005. After the second defeat against Pakistan during the recent ODI tri-series being played in Pakistan, England's shameful record of consecutive defeats on Pakistani soil has reached 6 matches. Even after a long time of 21 years has passed, the English team has not been able to win a single ODI match there.
England team has not been able to win in Pakistan since 2005
England recorded its last ODI win on Pakistani soil on 21 December 2005 in Rawalpindi. Then England defeated Pakistan by 6 runs on the basis of the brilliant bowling of James Anderson. After that historic tour, England did not tour Pakistan for a long time due to security reasons and busy schedule.
However, after the improvement in security conditions, the England team made a historic tour of Pakistan for the first time after a gap of 17 years for a 7-match T20 series in September-October 2022. Then in the same year in December 2022, a Test series was also played there. After this, in the year 2026, when the England ODI team returned to Pakistan through the Tri-Nation Series, the fans hoped that this ODI win drought would end, but the result remained the same.
