Pakistan ’s record sixth consecutive One-Day International (ODI) series triumph has left the players hungry for even more success and they intend to achieve it by bringing improvement in their performances, says team manager Naveed Akram Cheema.
Pakistan beat Bangladesh by 58 runs in the third ODI to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the three-match series and also secured their sixth straight series win this year.
Earlier in the year they defeated New Zealand and West Indies by identical margins of 3-2 before whitewashing Ireland (2-0) and Zimbabwe (3-0). In their comparatively tougher challenge, they outclassed Sri Lanka 4-1.
Previously Pakistan had captured five successive series-wins twice: the first one under Imran Khan’s leadership in 1989-90 and the second one in 2002 when Waqar Younis and Inzamamul Haq led the team.
