ISLAMABAD: As Pakistan prepares to face India on February 15 in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026<\/a>, cricket fans are once again revisiting a long-standing statistic that has defined this historic rivalry, since 1992, Pakistan has defeated India only once in ICC World Cup tournaments.<\/p>\n

As per the details, in ODI World Cups, India has maintained a flawless record against Pakistan from 1992 through 2019, winning all seven encounters. The dominance extended into the T20 World Cup arena, where India remained unbeaten against Pakistan until the 2021 edition.<\/p>\n

Pakistan\u2019s only World Cup victory<\/a> over India came in the 2021 T20 World Cup in Dubai, when Babar Azam\u2019s side secured a commanding 10-wicket win. That landmark triumph ended decades of disappointment and remains a defining moment in Pakistan\u2019s cricket history.<\/p>\n

Since then, India has largely continued its upper hand in ICC events, keeping the overall World Cup head-to-head record heavily in its favor. As the two teams prepare to clash again on February 15, the question dominating discussions is whether Pakistan can claim only its second-ever World Cup win against its arch-rival.<\/p>\n

Cricket analysts believe Pakistan has the talent and firepower to challenge India this time. With a dynamic bowling attack, aggressive top order, and growing experience in high-pressure games, Pakistan enters the contest with renewed confidence. However, India\u2019s depth in batting, strong pace attack, and consistent performances in ICC tournaments make them formidable opponents once again.<\/p>\n

The upcoming encounter is more than just a group-stage fixture, it carries history, pressure, and immense expectations from millions of fans across the globe.<\/p>\n

Will Pakistan rewrite history and secure a crucial victory on February 15, or will India continue its long-standing dominance in World Cup clashes? The answer will unfold on cricket\u2019s biggest stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
