Teams with best T20I head-to-head records

#2 India against Pakistan (7/8 wins)

In World T20 encounters, India have won all five games against Pakistan

Regarded as one of the fiercest rivalries in cricket, India and Pakistan don’t play each other often due to the political tension that exists between the two nations. But the arch-rivals do play in multi-team/ICC events like the World Cup, World T20 and the Asia Cup.

While Pakistan had the upper hand in the early stages of the rivalry, it is India who have dominated in the past few years. In T20Is, India’s record against their arch-rivals is simply phenomenal. In eight games, India have won seven (including the bowl-out win in 2007 World T20).

In the inaugural World T20, India and Pakistan played two memorable games. The first one resulted in a bowl-out and India emerged victorious. The second game was the final of the competition and only five runs separated the two teams with India eventually emerging winners.

Moving forward to 2012, Pakistan lost once again, this time in the 2012 World T20.

In December 2012, both cricketing boards (BCCI and PCB) decided to put to an end a five-year hiatus as Pakistan toured India for a short limited-overs series (two T20Is and three ODIs). It was in the first T20 of this tour that the former registered their first win in the shortest format against India.

Since then though it’s been all India. Overall, India have a win percentage of 87.5% against their arch-rivals in the shortest version of the game.
