In the last 5 years - 7 times Pakistan lost the toss in UAE

Lost - 5 times
Drew - 1 time
Won - 1 times


In the same period - 14 times Pakistan won the toss in UAE

Lost - 2 times
Drew - 3 times
Won - 9 times


I was surprise to see that Pakistan won toss 14 and lost only 7 times in this period. Pakistan has won 10 games in UAE in the last 5 years and 9 of them came after winning toss.


Imagine if Pakistan had lost 14 toss and won 7 toss.
 
In the same period,

Aus has lost toss 13 times in Aus - 10 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses.

India has lost toss 10 times in India - 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss.

Eng has lost toss 12 times in Eng - 7 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses.

SA has lost toss 14 times in Eng - 8 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses.
 
There is no fort in UAE. Pakistan is just lucky that it is winning toss previously. Now that luck is gone so real team showed up

Two established batsmen retiring and insisting to not play two proper spinners in UAE has made it harder. I think despite losing toss, Pakistan could have done a bit better for sure if team had played 2 proper spinners.

But, yah Toss has been the single biggest factor in Pakistan winning or losing tests in the last 5 years.
