Given Pakistan's comparatively limited resources and technological drawback as compared to the top 3; I'd say they did pretty good (alwayz room for improvement)! :smokingc:

Pakistan got the second highest in escape and evasion, which is arguebly the most important aspect of special operations. Shooting, grenade throw at special forces level is just matter of who sees who first.

India got fairly high on marchs and navigation, indicating the team has very high stamina and the navigation training of Paras are effective.

But again in special operation community, the difference between forces with similar role are very minor. Take a 10km run for example, a SAS operator might be able to run it in 37 minutes while a Delta operator does it in 36. The difference is not that huge.
