Pakistan made their first tour of England in 1954 and drew the series 1–1 after a victory at The OVAL in which fast bowler Fazal Mehmood took 12 wickets. Pakistan's first home Test match was against India in January 1955 at Bangabandhu National stadium, Decca.

1986 Austral-Asia Cup (Champions):

The 1986 Austral-Asia Cup played in SHARJAH in UAE, saw a last-ball victory for Pakistan against their arch-rivals India, with Javed Miandad emerging as a national hero. India batted first and set a target of 245 runs, leaving Pakistan with a required run rate of 4.92 runs per over. Miandad came in to bat at number 3 and Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals. Later recalling the match, he stated that his main focus was to lose with dignity. With 31 runs needed in the last three overs, Miandad hit a string of boundaries while batting with his team's lower order, until four runs were required from the last delivery of the match. Miandad received a Leg side full toss  from Chetan sharma , which he hit for six over the mid-wicket boundary.

1992 Cricket World Cup (Champions):

At the 1992 World cup Semi-final, having won the toss, New Zealand chose to bat first and ended with a total of 262 runs. Pakistan batted conservatively yet lost wickets at regular intervals. With the departure of Imran khan  and Saleem Malik shortly thereafter, Pakistan still required 115 runs at a rate of 7.67 runs per over with veteran Javed Miandad being the only known batsman remaining at the crease. A young Imzamam-ul-haq , who had just turned 22 and was not a well-known player at the time, burst onto the international stage with a match-winning 60 off 37 balls. Once Inzamam got out, Pakistan required 36 runs from 30 balls, which wicket-keeper Moin khan ended with a towering six over long off, followed by the winning boundary to mid-wicket. The match is seen as the emergence of Inzamam onto the international stage.
