ESPN: Why Pakistan are the best T20I team of the last two years

July 7: ESPN report by S Rajesh states that in the last couple of years, Pakistan have been on a roll in T20 Internationals. In 26 matches, they have won 22 and lost just four, which is quite a stunning record in a format in which it is generally difficult to string together wins. Their numbers during this period are not dissimilar to what they achieved in the early days of T20Is.
