The title says it all. In this data, I have only included tournaments of World Cup, T20 World Cup and Champions Trophy. Throughout the history, Pakistan have always lost in ICC tournament whenever they played 2nd Semifinal. This includes the :
1) Loss to West Indies in 1983 World Cup second SF
2) Loss to New Zealand in 2009 Champions Trophy second SF
3) Loss to Australia in 2010 T20 2nd SF
3) Loss to India in 2011 World Cup played as 2nd SF
Whenever, they have won any tournament, they always played the first semifinal. This includes 1992 World Cup, 2009 T20 World cup and Champions Trophy 2017.
Mind you, playing in the first semifinal, we have also lost tournaments. That includes loss to Australia in 1987 and 2012 T20 loss to Srilanka. But if you calculate the probability of playing the first semifinal and winning the tournament versus playing the second semifinal and winning the tournament is 3/0.
This time around, we are playing the second semifinal in Dubai on Thursday. My heart bleeds green but I fear the worst. Especially we have lost to Australia in T20 World Cup 2nd Semifinal 11 years ago in 2010 and right now, Australia is peaking at the right time
