How has Pakistan performed against India in the T20 WC?

India have a huge 6-1 lead over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. The first and only time Pakistan beat India was back in 2021 when they won by 10 wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. In their previous meeting, Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 82 helped India past the finish line at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.

India will go into the upcoming game after their resounding 8-wicket win over Ireland in New York. Jasprit Bumrah won the Player of the Match award while Rohit Sharma scored a brilliant half-century. Pakistan, on the other hand, lost to the USA in New York.
