They have won last 3 matches chasing, 2 of which have been 300+ chases. Their record in both Odis and T20Is in recent times has been brilliant.

Babar, Imam, Rizwan have been super consistent and they have also manage to unearth allrounders who provide depth to their batting.

:))) Are you being serious? They made a dogs dinner of a run chase in 1st ODI vs Aussies, and were lucky they chased down 300 in last game vs WI.

This guy likes to take digs at me for my posts but then comes up with one of the dumbest statements in modern pp with Rizwan being super consistent like Imam and Babar :)))
 
Considering their prior history of chasing games, it might be. They've had some good chases in T20's team and under Babar era, they haven't looked as hopeless chasing as prior teams have. Generally preferred to chase as well but that might also be because they have been poor at setting appropriate targets like we've seen vs England. Very heavy reliance on top 3 batsmen to do most of the work though.
 
They have improved their run chasing ability under Babar's leadership.

We are still nowhere close to being the best chasers in the world.

FYI, I am only referring it to the possibly the best chasing team in their own history (which isn't saying much but alas). Obviously nowhere near best in the world.
 
Yes, Pakistan have improved their skills when it comes to chasing. However, they are NOT the best yet in ODIs/T20s.

Still a long way to go to become the BEST
 
The consistency of Imam, Babar and Rizwan is amazing. They have shown that they can do it in Pakistan easily. However can they do it in away conditions is to be still seen.
 
Pakistan being bad in run chases is just a big myth to be honest. They were good during misbah era and they are still good even today

Pakistan were pure garbage, filth in the Misbah era. Don’t try to make it look better than it was. We were an atrocious white ball team under Misbah
 
Pakistan are not the best chasing team compared to other teams, but this is so far the best Pakistan chasing team there has been.

No we were not. Its just a myth

This.

We only chased one 250+ score in the Misbah era. The 2014 Asia Cup game vs. Bangladesh..

Pls show me how we were good in chasing in ODIs and T20s during Misbah era? Any stats? Data? Scorecards?
 
Lets not get carried away, 300 nowadays is like 250 from not too long ago, we are becoming a bit more consistent but we still manage to drag the game out most times when we should be more ruthless.
