The record of India-Pak matches in the World Cup will increase the worries of the Pakistan team.

New Delhi: The countdown for the biggest and exciting match in the world of cricket has now started. In the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2026, the Indian and Pakistani teams will face each other in just two days at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. There is huge enthusiasm among the fans regarding this clash, because this match is not just a cricket match but is a symbol of crores of emotions. According to statistics, India’s dominance is clearly visible in the history of T20 World Cup.

In the history of T20 World Cup, India and Pakistan have met a total of eight times. Of these, the Indian team has won seven times, while Pakistan has achieved success only once. If we look at the record of T20 International matches, India has won 13 out of 16 matches, which proves that Indian players are more mentally strong in high pressure matches.

The only defeat in 2021

The 2021 World Cup brought an important moment for Pakistan, when they defeated India by 10 wickets in Dubai. In that match, India, batting first, scored 57 runs from Virat Kohli and 39 runs from Rishabh Pant. In reply, Pakistan’s opener Mohammad Rizwan scored 79 runs and captain Babar Azam scored 68 runs and achieved the target without losing any wicket. This was the only time that Pakistan won against India.

India’s strong comeback

After that defeat in Dubai, Pakistan could not defeat India again in the T20 World Cup. The Indian team has performed brilliantly every time and defeated its adverse opposition. From the first World Cup final in 2007 to the tough matches played in 2024 last year, India has always excelled in difficult conditions. India will have a big opportunity to maintain its dominance in the next match.
