Pakistan vs India Cricket: Next Match & Head-to-Head Record

There is no confirmed next match between Pakistan and India’s senior men’s teams as of 28 August 2026. Neither team’s current official schedule gives an exact date, venue and competition for another meeting. A future ICC or Asia Cup event may put them together, but participation in the same tournament is not the same as a confirmed fixture.

The latest senior men’s match was at the 2026 T20 World Cup in Colombo on 15 February. India made 175 for 7, dismissed Pakistan for 114 and won by 61 runs. Ishan Kishan was Player of the Match after scoring 77 from 40 balls.

Pakistan vs India head-to-head record

Pakistan leads the all-time senior men’s international win count 88–81, but that total needs context. Most of Pakistan’s advantage comes from Tests and ODIs played during the bilateral era. India leads the T20I record 14–3 and has won 16 of the 17 men’s ODI and T20 World Cup meetings.

Format	Matches	India wins	Pakistan wins	Draw, tie or no result
Tests	59	9	12	38 draws
ODIs	136	58	73	5 no-results
T20Is	17	14	3	0
All formats	212	81	88	43

Records cutoff: 15 February 2026, after the men’s T20 World Cup group match. The table covers senior men’s internationals only. It excludes women’s cricket, under-19 matches, A teams and the Asian Games.

World Cup, Champions Trophy and Asia Cup records

Combining every tournament into one number hides how different the contests have been. The ODI World Cup and T20 World Cup records below are therefore kept separate.

Competition	Meetings	India wins	Pakistan wins	Other result
Men’s ODI World Cup	8	8	0	0
Men’s T20 World Cup	9	8	1	0
ICC Champions Trophy	6	3	3	0
Men’s Asia Cup, ODI and T20I combined	21	13	6	2 no-results

Pakistan’s only men’s World Cup win over India came in Dubai in 2021, when Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan completed a ten-wicket chase. Their unbeaten 152-run stand appears in our highest men’s World Cup partnerships table.

The Champions Trophy is level because it includes very different moments: India’s group-stage wins in 2013 and 2017, Pakistan’s 180-run win in the 2017 Champions Trophy final, and India’s six-wicket chase in Dubai in 2025. India then won all three Pakistan meetings at the 2025 Asia Cup, including the final by five wickets.

Latest Pakistan vs India match

The 15 February 2026 match was the teams’ ninth meeting in a men’s T20 World Cup. Pakistan chose to field at the R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium. Ishan Kishan’s 77 led India to 175 for 7; Saim Ayub took three wickets for Pakistan.

Pakistan was bowled out for 114 in 18 overs. Usman Khan made 44, while India’s attack shared the wickets and completed a 61-run win. That result took the overall T20I record to India 14, Pakistan 3.

First and latest meeting in each format

Format	First meeting	Latest meeting
Test	Delhi, 16 October 1952 — India won by an innings and 70 runs	Bengaluru, 8–12 December 2007 — drawn
ODI	Quetta, 1 October 1978 — India won by 4 runs	Dubai, 23 February 2025 — India won by 6 wickets
T20I	Durban, 14 September 2007 — tied scores; India won the bowl-out	Colombo, 15 February 2026 — India won by 61 runs

The gap in the Test column matters: the teams have not played a Test against each other since December 2007. That is why the all-time table contains 59 Tests but the modern rivalry is seen mostly in limited-overs tournaments.
