History was rewritten at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, October 24 as Pakistan beat India by 10 wickets in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 to register their first win over India in World Cup history.
The two teams first met in 1952, when Pakistan toured India for a five-match Test series. The hosts won the series 2-1. Since then, both countries have engaged in several Test, ODI and T20I matches.
However, due to the political tensions and multiple wars between the two nations, over the years, cricket suffered as both sides were ordered to abandon any cricketing ties with each other.
India and Pakistan have locked horns on 200 occasions on the international level to date with Pakistan having a better head-to-head record over India in Tests and ODIs.
