Cricket fervour in the Indian subcontinent is unmatched when compared to some of the popular sports such as football, hockey, and tennis. And the rivalry between neighbouring countries India and Pakistan brings a unique sense of euphoria only matched in the cricketing world by the Ashes.
The two nations will go head-to-head for their opening match of the ICC T20 World Cup this Sunday, which will be the first meeting of the sides since their ODI World Cup match at Manchester, UK in 2019. It was a game where India won by 89 runs after DLS, thanks to a Rohit Sharma ton at the Emirates Old Trafford, in a typically grey Manchester weather.
India has an unbeaten record against their arch-rivals Pakistan in T20 World Cups, having come out on top in four out of their five encounters, and only one ended in a tie. While Pakistan does boast a superior head-to-head advantage over India in the overall stats for all formats of the game, they have never beaten India in a major World Cup tournament in 12 attempts.
