Pakistan's cricket team has completed ten consecutive bilateral and tri-series at home without losing a series, Express News reported, a run that stretches back roughly seventeen months.

The last home series Pakistan lost was a one-day tri-series against New Zealand in February 2025, according to Express News. Every home series since has ended in a win or a draw.

The run opened with a Twenty20 whitewash of Bangladesh in May and June 2025. A Test series against South Africa in October 2025 finished level at 1-1, and Pakistan took the Twenty20 and one-day legs of that visit 2-1 each.

In November 2025 Pakistan swept Sri Lanka 3-0 in a one-day series and won a Twenty20 tri-series that also featured Zimbabwe. A home Twenty20 series against Australia followed, won 3-0, with the one-day rubber going Pakistan's way 2-1. Express News also listed a 2-1 Twenty20 series win on the recent tour of Sri Lanka, a series played away from home and so outside the home record it was describing.

The tenth home series was a one-day tri-series, which Pakistan won to close the sequence. Express News described the streak as evidence of consistent form across formats on home pitches.

UrduPoint carried the milestone in a headline reporting that Pakistan had gone unbeaten in ten successive bilateral and tri-series at home.

Neither report named the opponents in the final of the most recent tri-series, the margin of that final, or the venues where the matches were played. No statement from the Pakistan Cricket Board on the sequence appeared in the reports carried by the two outlets.
