India defeated Pakistan by six runs in their most recent meeting, which took place in a T20 World Cup 2024 group match at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
1952 saw Pakistan’s five-match Test series in India, which was the first time the two nations played each other. The series was won 2-1 by the hosts. Since then, a number of Test, ODI, and T20I matches have been played between the two nations.
But throughout the years, as a result of the political unrest and several conflicts between the two countries, both sides were told to cut off their cricketing connections with one another, which negatively impacted cricket.
Pakistan has a superior head-to-head record over India in Tests and ODIs. India and Pakistan have faced off on 207 occasions at the international level.
