Both teams were long-time arch rivals and their competition was measured as one of the most intense cricket rivalries known throughout the world.

India had won all 7 matches of 50-over ICC World Cup matches while four T20 World Cup games. Pakistan had bagged 1 out of the 6 T20 World Cup games while 1 ended in a draw.
Among the matches played, some memorable moments were shared by Indians while some were cherished by Pakistanis.

Pakistan also crushed India by 10 wickets in the 2021 T20 World Cup opener and made its first-ever victory over the "Men in Blue" in a World Cup match. Last month, Pakistan also downed India in the Asia Cup encounter by five wickets.
