The Pakistan national baseball team (Template:Langx) is the national team representing Pakistan in international baseball tournaments and competitions. The team is controlled and governed by the Pakistan Federation Baseball, which is represented in the Baseball Federation of Asia (BFA), having been ranked #5 in Asia, just behind China.[1] They are ranked as the top and one of the most successful baseball teams in South Asia, winning the first SAARC Baseball Championship 8–2 against Sri Lanka in 2011.[2] As of 2023, Pakistan is currently ranked 38th in the world by the World Baseball Softball Confederation.[3]
The Pakistani team has participated in many of the international and regional tournaments and has achieved many successes. It has won the Asian Baseball Championship (C level) title in 2010, where they won 10–0 against Hong Kong in the final round,[4] and five titles at the Asian Baseball Cup, winning the last tournament in 2015.[5] The team qualified for the World Baseball Classic qualifier round for the first time where they lost 0–10 against Brazil and 0–14 while competing against Great Britain in 2016.[6]
Like in almost every South Asian country where baseball is a minor sport, Pakistan's most popular sport is cricket, which diverts athletic talent away from baseball. As of 2023, Pakistan has never qualified for the World Baseball Classic.
