India and Pakistan share an intense cricket rivalry that stems from shared culture and history. Although political tensions have contributed to its intensification, its intensity remains strong.
Mohali 2011 was one of the greatest cricket matches ever seen and attended by both Prime Ministers from both nations – it witnessed some legendary moments and unforgettable action!
In this article, we will discuss about the matches of India National Cricket Team Vs Pakistan National Cricket Team Stats.
1. ODI Series
India and Pakistan share one of the fiercest rivalries in international cricket history. Dating back 207 matches including Tests and ODIs, these teams have clashed 207 times for all formats resulting in 73 victories and 83 defeats between them.
Since their first ODI took place on October 1, 1978 in Quetta, India and Pakistan have played 135 One Day Internationals against each other with India winning 57 and Pakistan 73 victories respectively while five matches ended with no result being determined.
India and Pakistan have recently met in several tournaments and ODI series. Each side has put forth strong efforts, coming close to producing some unforgettable matches – particularly at the 2011 ICC World Cup Final in Mumbai where India ultimately triumphed by seven wickets.
Pakistan will aim to end their streak of five straight ODI losses while India looks to build on their victory over Sri Lanka in Colombo last Wednesday in the third ODI, when Charith Asalanka’s side won their first bilateral series win against India since 1987 with 43 spinners sharing 43 wickets among them – an all-time spinner total in an ODI series!
Rohit Sharma’s side are coming off an impressive victory against Paul Stirling’s Ireland while Pakistan are full of confidence after defeating them in Super 4 round of Asia Cup. Colombo offers excellent conditions for batsmen; therefore this match should favor Pakistan captain Sarfraz Nawaz as well. Together they should help each other return to form after poor performances in previous ODI matches.
2. Test Series
India-Pakistan rivalry is one of the fiercest sporting rivalries on earth, dating back to 1947 after British India was divided and created two states, leading to multiple wars and diplomatic tensions between them. Since then, this hostility has extended itself into all aspects of their lives including cricket. Their teams engage in Test, ODI and T20I matches annually that attract enormous crowds and media coverage – these games frequently draw massive audiences and media interest alike.
Indian teams have traditionally outscored Pakistan in head-to-head matches across all formats; India having won 12 out of 15 meetings; their only loss being during a Test series defeat. Pakistan, however, have seen more success against India at Champions Trophy level; winning three of five meetings against them!
No matter the result of these matches, Indian-Pakistan rivalry remains an integral component of cricket’s global appeal. Fuelled by an undying desire for success on both sides, their competition stretches far beyond politics or ethnicity; indeed many players involved have become icons of Indian and Pakistani culture and influence how citizens view cricket in both nations.
India and Pakistan will meet for their seventh One-Day International in 2023, making this meeting their seventh in their archrivalry. India are currently at the top of ODI table after winning both of their opening two matches easily against Australia (by six wickets at Chennai) and Afghanistan (8 wickets by Jasprit Bumrah’s four-fer and Rohit Sharma’s blistering innings respectively).
At Old Trafford, India and Pakistan clashed in their final rain-affected match – which saw India score 336 runs to set themselves a seemingly insurmountable target despite attempts by Pakistan to chase it down; yet they fell 16 short, losing their opening match of this tournament due to poor batting by Pakistan, who failed to hit a single six in Powerplay overs.
3. T20I Series
Indian and Pakistan’s rivalry in T20I cricket has always been fierce. Over twelve encounters in this format of the game – seven during ICC T20 World Cup matches and never otherwise – they have met each other 11 times; three of these meetings occurred within ICC tournament matches and never as one-off T20I encounters.
On Sunday at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, arch-rivals India and Pakistan will square off in their second group match of this tournament. Both sides began their campaigns in contrasting fashion; India under Rohit Sharma easily defeated Ireland, while Babar Azam’s Pakistan suffered defeat by United States.
Hardik Pandya will lead India into this crucial match against Zimbabwe with the aim of improving on their last performance, where they lost by 89 runs in the final. Shubman Gill, Axar Patel and Mohammed Siraj all make comebacks into the squad as well.
India holds an unblemished head-to-head record against Pakistan at the T20 World Cup, winning six of seven meetings (including an impressive bowl-out win in 2007 tournament), three out of four meetings at Asia Cup tournament and even three out of four matches held between them at World Cup tournament.
India will secure their place in the knockout rounds with a victory against Pakistan, and will advance to face off against each other in the semi-finals, before going head-to-head to win their respective trophy.
India have been on an impressive run recently and are favorites to beat Pakistan. Both teams possess an intimate understanding of each other’s strengths and weaknesses which should show on the pitch during their match-up. Meanwhile, Pakistan are coming off an embarrassing defeat at the hands of USA and need a turnaround if they hope to advance beyond round 16. Disney+ Hotstar in India as well as PTV Ten Sports will broadcast this match live for viewers around the world.
4. ICC Cricket World Cup
India and Pakistan are two of the premier teams in international cricket and their matches regularly draw huge crowds. Their rivalry dates back to 1947 when British colonial rule ended; since then India has won more Test and ODI matches than Pakistan; yet this rivalry remains fraught with politics and religious tensions; for example when General Pervez Musharraf visited Mumbai seemingly for a cricket game but quickly turned into something bigger – including his visit becoming something of an official summit meeting between India and Pakistan in 2005.
India most recently met in 2007 in a World Cup game, which India eventually won. MS Dhoni led his side to an emphatic seven-wicket victory against Pakistan at Wankhede Stadium and made history by becoming the first Indian ever to win this coveted competition, defeating two-time champion West Indies in an exciting final contest.
India was the only team in the tournament that managed to beat Australia by more than 10 runs, which was truly remarkable and showed Dhoni’s side had what it takes to navigate a nerve-wracking occasion with ease.
Pakistan and India will look to end an eleven-year wait when they face each other at the 2023 World Cup, as each side boasts abundant talent that should help manage any pressure resulting from competing against India.
On Sunday, the game will take place at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York City and should draw full capacity as intended by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Star Sports in India and ESPN in America will broadcast it simultaneously and it should attract many fans from both nations with its winner being considered a favourite to move onto semifinals of tournament. Match is scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM local time.
