The general view among cricket fans is that India v Pakistan cricket matches have been a bit of a one-horse race and one which India have dominated. That perception probably comes from the much-publicised fact that Pakistan have never beaten India in a World Cup match, whether in the ODI format, or the T20 one.
However, this finally changed in 2021 in Dubai during the Super 12 stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Pakistan beat India on 24 October by 10 wickets, finally breaking that bad spell.
India still have bragging rights there because they’ve bossed Pakistan in the T20Is when we look at the bigger picture. Of the 12 matches they played in this format (including the World Cups and all other competitions), India came out on top eight times, while Pakistan won on three occasions, with the 2007 World Cup match ending in a tie.
It’s a real shame that these two haven’t played a Test match since 2007 and that’s a format where it’s Pakistan who are ahead. They shared a remarkable 38 draws out of 59 but it’s Pakistan who are 12-9 ahead.
Pakistan also have their noses in front in ODIs. ‘No results’ aside, it’s 73 against 57. So PAK vs IND Head to Head shows Pakistan have won more games in total, but India have won the ones that arguably matter the most, at World Cups. Pretty much ‘honours even’.
In terms of the most exciting, most famous and best-remembered Pakistan vs India Cricket Games, here are four of the best.
MS Dhoni won the toss and batted first, as expected. Virender Sehwag went all guns blazing and scored 38 off 25 but it was Sachin Tendulkar’s 85 that was the real game-changer.
Reprieved by DRS, dropped by the Pakistani fielders, he never looked fully settled at the crease but it was his steady knock that set a fine platform. No-one else bars Suresh Raina (36 off 39) really got going and 260 was a good score, but not a great one.
In reply, Pakistan started well but no-one kicked on. There were some useful knocks from Mohammad Hafeez (43) and Misbah Ul-Haq got to 56 in the end but no partnership went on for long enough and there were contributions from all of India’s five bowlers. Interestingly, all five took exactly two wickets each.
It’s not an exaggeration to say Pakistan felt the pressure of a run chase in the most stressful of circumstances, a World Cup semi. In the end, they lost by 29 runs. India went on to play Sri Lanka in the final and won.
That India even got to 157/5 was mostly due to an aggressive 75 off 54 from Gautam Gambhir. Rohit Sharma, who was a middle-order batsman back then, made a valuable 30 off 16. In fact, so valuable that in the context of the game it was almost as big a contribution as Gambhir’s innings.
It was a similar story for Pakistan. There were a few starts but not enough partnerships. It certainly didn’t help that star man Shahid Afridi went for a first-ball duck. Just like in the 2011 semi four years later, it was left to Misbah Ul-Haq to repair the damage.
Pakistan were dead and buried before Misbah started playing some big shots and was on 43, with four balls remaining, to get just five. The problem was that they had just one wicket in hand. Misbah played an ill-judged scoop, was caught by Sreesanth at fine leg and that was that. India had won the first-ever T20 World Cup.
A very different outcome. This time Pakistan batted first and scored a mammoth 338/4 thanks to a century from Fakhar Zaman and fifties from Azhar Ali and Mohammad Hafeez.
India’s top order folded like a pack of cards and they were all out for 158. Pakistan, rank outsiders at the start of the tournament, were champions.
India and Pakistan met at the T20 World Cup for the first time in the Super 12 stage, as they were both in Group 2. The match occurred on 24 October 2021 and was the first one in the group.
Everyone expected India to win as they always do in all Cricket World Cup and T20 World Cup matches against Pakistan. However, the Falcons finally turned things around. Moreover, what a win it was! It seemed that everything was going their way, with Shaheen Shah Afridi showing his true merit.
The game ended in a 10-wicket win for Pakistan, which was their first in T20 internationals and India’s first-ever loss by the same margin.
This fierce rivalry witnessed three clashes in 2023, all in the ODI format.
The year's first match came in early September at the 2023 Asia Cup held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The rivals were placed in the same group, together with Nepal, but their matchup ended with no result, as rain prevented the teams from playing. The game qualified Pakistan for the Super Four since they had previously beaten Nepal.
India also qualified, and the two met for the second time at the Cup on 10 September, making it their second clash of 2023. This game spilt over to the day after, as well, and India eventually obliterated Pakistan from the map by a whopping 228 runs, their highest-ever score against the team in ODIs. It was a match of records, too. Virat Kohli scored his 13,000th run in ODIs and the quickest 13,000 runs in 267 innings. His teammate, KL Rahul, scored his 2,000th run in the same format.
Only a month later, the two teams met each other again at the Cricket World Cup hosted by India. They played on 14 October, and India won by a comfortable 7 wickets. The host country ended the group stage as the top team, coming out victorious in all nine matches they played. Pakistan was fifth, which ended their run in the tournament. As for India, they reached the finals but lost to Australia (see IND vs AUS rivalry)

As we said, India doesn't play Pakistan that often in bilateral series but it does occasionally happen from time to time. So if it was a 5-match ODI Series, for example, you’d be betting on who would win the series at the end of the five matches.
Whether it’s a Test match, an ODI or a T20, you’ll always be able to bet on the winner of the game before the match gets underway. Spoiler alert: given recent results, India are almost always favourites irrespective of format or venue.
The fun doesn’t stop at the start of the game. In fact, it goes on until the winning runs are scored or the final wicket falls. You can bet during the match at ever-changing odds until the very end at 10CRIC’s live betting section.
India and Pakistan are in Group A, and their match is to take place on 9 June, so put it in your betting calendar. If they manage to reach the first two spots in the group, they’ll advance to the Super 8s, which could, in turn, give them a chance to meet each other again in the knockout stage. The odds aren’t high, but we can all hope.

These two teams don’t play each other very often; we sometimes have to wait for World Cups in the ODI or T20 format for them to go up against each other, but it’s certainly worth the wait.
Not only have they produced absolute classics over the years but the passion among the fans and the desire to beat their neighbours felt by both players and supporters is almost unparalleled in the game of cricket.
Among the many cricket betting markets, we offer on an India v Pakistan match are: match winner, team top batsman, team top bowler, most sixes, first-innings runs and who will be the man of the match.
India made their debut in international cricket in a Test match in 1932 at Lord’s in London, losing to England. Remarkably for a side who these days is so hard to beat, they had to wait till their 24th match, against England in Madras in 1952, before they recorded their first Test win.
In 573 Tests played by the end of 2023, they won 173 and lost 177 while having 222 draws and a single tie. A king amongst their batsmen is the great Sachin Tendulkar with 15,921 runs followed by Rahul Dravid and SM Gavaskar. With the ball, leg spinner Anil Kumble claimed 619 wickets with the currently active Ravichandran Ashwin following him closely with 516 wickets. The third best is Kapil Dev Ramlal Nikhanj with 434 wickets.
Their ODI debut, also against England, was in 1974. Their record in this format is much stronger, winning 559, losing 443, with 9 ties and 44 no results by the end of 2023. Highlights in this format include winning the 1983 and 2011 World Cups and also adding the 2002 Champions Trophy (as joint-winners) and 2013 Champions Trophy to their silverware collection.
It’s that man Tendulkar leading the way on runs scored again in ODIs on 18,426, with Kohli and Sourav Ganguly next best. And it’s the same man leading the wickets column, too. Kumble has 334, J Srinath 315 and AB Agarkar 288.
In the T20 format, their debut came against South Africa in 2006. Their record in the shortest format is truly excellent with 138 wins and 68 losses from their completed matches by the end of 2023. They also have 4 ties and 6 no-results.
As we said above when looking at the greatest games, they won the inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup, held in South Africa. They certainly rode their luck, needing a miraculous tie against Pakistan in the Group Stages to even make the semis and were pretty fortunate to get over the line in that final, again against Pakistan. They also made the final in 2014, posting just 130 batting first, which Sri Lanka chased with ease.
Kohli is their leading run-scorer (4,037) with Rohit Sharma in hot pursuit on 3,974.
Virat Kohli is currently the India Team skipper in all three formats with former batsman Rahul Dravid the coach.
Pakistan made their international debut in the same year that India won their first Test Match, 1952, against...India. In Delhi, they went down by 70 runs after India batted just once and enforced the follow-on. Unlike India, Pakistan has had a superior win/loss rate since then — they came out on top in 148 Tests, lost in 141, and had 166 draws thrown in after 455 matches played by the end of 2023.
Their overall ODI record is also quite good. Of the 970 games they played by the end of 2023, they came on top in 512. The team lost 428 matches and had 9 ties and 21 no-results.
Pakistan’s T20I record is also impressive. By the end of 2023, they played a whopping 226 games, winning 135 and losing 82. Three were ties, and six had no results.
Over the years they’ve produced some of the best Test batsmen the game has ever seen. The quartet of Younis Khan, Javed Miandad, Inzamam Ul-Haq and Mohammad Youssuf- all middle-order batsmen - were all masters of playing the long game and wonderful stroke makers; they’re Pakistan’s four highest run-scorers in the format. Of those four, Inzamam and Youssuf are also their top two highest run-scorers in ODIs, as well, with Saeed Anwar and Shahid Afridi completing the Top 4.
When it comes to the T20Is, the situation is a lot more contemporary, so to say. The top two highest run-scorers are both active players, with Babar Azam leading the charge with 3,698 runs and Mohammad Rizwan trailing behind with 2,981 runs.
But if middle-order run machines have always been a big part of Pakistani cricket, then so have wonderful fast bowlers. Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Shoaib Akhtar and all-rounder Imran Khan - the former Prime Minister of Pakistan (2018–2022), no less - are some of the finest fast or swing bowlers cricket has seen, and remain some of the most feared bowlers ever.
Pakistan are the epitome of an unpredictable side. In 1992, they won the (ODI) World Cup against all odds under the captaincy of Imran Khan, which included his famous ‘Cornered Tigers’ speech to his players, when they were up against it, serving as an inspiration to go on and beat England in the final.
They also won the 2009 T20 World Cup in England thanks to two man of the match performances in a row from Shahid Afridi, also winning two Asia Cups and that Champions Trophy back in 2017. In 2022, they were runners-up, just as they had been in their first (and the first ever) T20 World Cup in 2007. You have one guess concerning who they lost to. That’s right, India.
