5. Pakistan
Highest score – 205
The 2009 World T20 champions scored their highest ever team total on April 2nd 2018 against the West Indies. Batting first, Pakistan scored 205/3, with batting sensation Babar Azam leading the way with a classy knock of 97*. Azam was ably supported by Hussain Talat, who scored a 41-ball 63.
In reply, the West Indian side could only muster a total of 123, as left arm pacer Mohammad Amir picked up three wickets, giving away only 22 runs. Except Chadwick Walton who scored 40, none of the other batsmen from the West Indian side offered any resistance.
Lowest score – 74
Pakistan’s fortunes suffered an all-time low in the year 2012 when Australia ran through their batting line up. On September 10th 2012, in Dubai, the Australian team batted first and scored 168/7. David Warner and Shane Watson put on an opening stand of 111 runs to lay the foundation for the Aussies. However, Saeed Ajmal pulled things back, and picked up 2 wickets, giving away only 19 runs from his 4 overs.
The chase was an absolute disaster for Pakistan. The Pakistani batsmen had no answers to the fiery Mitchell Starc, who picked up 3 wickets, giving away just 11 runs, as the ‘Men in Green’ were dismissed for just 74, handing the Australian side a 94-run victory.
