What a great record! Pakistan in T20I is the only team to score 180+ totals in 5 consecutive matches!

Hey dont you know that our ranking is a fluke![]()

Pakistan was expected to thrashed England in England, West Indies in West Indies and New Zealand in New Zealand? If yes, they are the undisputed number one team in the worldIn this case, it isn't a fluke. People should learn what's a fluke.
Considering the opposition, Pakistan was expected to thrash them and they did. So they are deserving winner.
Wonder what India is doing playing two T20Is against Ireland soon?if you play against teams lyk windies-d, scottish..etc this is bound to happen...no one in world cricket are playing t20 matches continuously against substandard teams like pak team..hence the #1 ranking..which is absolutely a farce one

Ranking means zilch in LOIs, only thing that matters is who wins the ICC cups. WI has won last two, they are the real champs. Nobody cares who is #1 rank team. Same goes for ODI, winning WC matters ������
In test, the real thing is winning series abroad. India can be mathematically #1, but good it is if they cannot win a single series in SA/ENG/AUS?? ������
We scored 200 twice against NZ in NZ. Get educated before running mouth.
When did we score 200 twice? We scored 201/4 in the 2nd T20I but in the first match we were bowled out for 105 and we only managed 181/6 in the 3rd T20I
Rankings absolutely have meaning in ODIs. You're being very ignorant.
Yeah rankings sure had a lot of meaning when number eight ranked side dished out biggest phainti ever in a tournament final.
How does that invalidate rankings? Pakistan changed their old players for newer ones, and saw results. ODI rankings are very stable, Pakistan winning the CT was a shock to many people as well as nobody saw it coming.
Rankings have no bearing on the result of a match. Otherwise the top ranked sides would always win. Rankings only serve to show a sides consistency during the ranking period, otherwise any one of the top eight can beat anyone else on any given day.
Of course they don't. Rankings show consistency over time, not individual matches. I am not sure you know how ODI rankings are made. Scotland beating England doesn't make Scotland no. 1 team, England would pummel Scotland 49 times out of 50.
You are just further driving home my own point. Pakistan is ranked number 1 in T20s due to their consistent performance and are rightfully the best side in the world in the format.
In this case, it isn't a fluke. People should learn what's a fluke.

It is not a fluke because apart from England and New Zealand, the other teams that we faced were cannon fodder, and we would beat them more often than not.
However, it is a fake ranking - an artificial ranking built on playing too many games against weak opposition.
This record of scoring five 180+ scores on the trot means absolutely nothing. None of the scores came against the bowling attacks of India, South Africa and Australia.
India surely has a world class bowling attack in t20sSince when India had a world class bowling attack and since when South Africa became a good t20i team?
A rather foolish and intentional skewed barometer to discount Pakistan's success in the shortest format.
Indian test ranking is fake - an artificial ranking built on winning in Asia and getting destroyed away.

NZ in NZ is much more potent than SA especially after Morkel retired

Since you stopped watching cricket I guess, because India have had a quality attack for a while.
Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah are very good both in the opening overs as well as the death, and Chahal and Yadav is the best spin duo in Limited Overs cricket at the moment.
In my view, India have the best ODI/T20 bowling attack in the world.
South Africa’s batting is a bit light at the moment, but they are still better than us and have a very good attack.
Pakistan’s batting is very mediocre. Apart from Babar, who is not a great T20 batsman to begin with, none of our batsmen get into any top T20 side.
They have been reduced to 100-5 by a joke bowling attack - Pakistan won’t get anywhere close to the number one ranking if they were to play the likes of India, Australia and South Africa rather than playing numerous matches against weak teams.
How exactly?
They haven't done anything of note in T20Is and their bowling attack is Rabada, Ngidi, Morris, Phelukwayo and Tahir. All average T20 bowlers besides Tahir.
I really don't understand how one could not rank Pakistan as a Top 3 T20 side.

What ?
Rabada, Ngidi, Morris, Phelulwayo and Tahir is a much better bowling attack than Pakistan's.

We have won a t20 series against Sa in Sa last time wee played their .so i don.t think beating Sa is that much difficuilt in t20 series (considering AB is no longer their for Sa)
World x1 also had 5 SA players. Pakistan will beat all teams if they play a series with them now.
Our batting is underrated too. We have collective best players of spin bowling and in t20s spinners dominate.
