Pakistan have achieved a significant milestone in international cricket, remaining unbeaten in 10 consecutive bilateral and tri-nation series played on home soil.


The achievement came after the Green Shirts defeated Sri Lanka by three wickets in the ODI tri-series final at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on October 31.


According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the unbeaten run began in May-June 2025, when Pakistan swept Bangladesh 3-0 in a three-match T20I series in Lahore.


Since then, Pakistan have maintained their unbeaten record across different formats, hosting South Africa, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Australia and England.


The 10-series run includes a 1-1 draw in the two-match Test series against South Africa, while Pakistan won the remaining nine competitions.


The Green Shirts also recorded a 3-0 ODI series whitewash against Sri Lanka, won the T20I tri-series involving Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, and swept Australia 3-0 in a home T20I series.


Pakistan subsequently defeated Australia 2-1 in an ODI series and Sri Lanka 2-1 in a T20I series before completing their latest achievement against England and Sri Lanka.


In the recently concluded ODI tri-series, Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by three wickets in the final, chasing down a target of 326 runs with nine balls to spare.


Fakhar Zaman led the chase with 127 off 99 deliveries, while Saad Baig scored 74 and Arafat Minhas contributed 61 runs.


The latest triumph also marked Pakistan's return to the winners' circle in the ODI tri-series format after their previous title in 2008.
