2016 – The Pakistani national team makes its debut in a global event, having previously finished as high as 5th in the Asian Games and Asian Championship. As anticipated, they lose to Brazil in the opener of the 2017 World Baseball Classic Qualifiers Pool D, but they are not overmatched, losing 10 – 0 and getting four hits while making one error. Faqir Hussain goes 2 for 2 as their top performer. Brazil’s Jean Tomé, Eric Pardinho and Edilson Batista combine on the shutout, while Juan Carlos Muniz hits an inside-the-park two-run homer.
