Ind vs Pak: All previous World Cup history
Fans will wonder if Babar’s team can change the one-sided ratio of their head-to-head matchup. India has won every ODI World Cup match it has played.
India has dominated Pakistan since 1992 in the 50-over World Cups. There have been many memorable moments but only one winner.
We are here, ahead of the weekend blockbuster, to refresh your memories, go down memory lane, and relive India’s victories over Pakistan in the most prestigious stages.
1992: India wins by 43 runs at Sydney
India and Pakistan have yet to meet in the World Cup’s first four editions, which is surprising. India and Pakistan met at the Sydney Cricket Ground in floodlights, wearing colourful clothing.
In his first World Cup, Sachin Tendulkar scored 54 runs off 62 deliveries to help India reach 216/7 after 49 overs. Mushtaq Ahmad took three wickets, and Aaqib Javed scored twice for Pakistan.
Fans saw Indian bowlers work together to skitter Pakistan down to 173 runs in 48 overs despite defending 217.
Kapil Dev, Manoj Prabhakar, and Javagal Srinath took two wickets, while Sachin, Venkatapathy, and Venkatapathy chipped in.
Amer Sohail scored a half-century with 62 runs off 95 balls. Javed Mirandad also tried but was dismissed for 40. But not before losing his temper at Kiran More’s constant chirping.
1996: India wins by 39 runs at Bengaluru
Wasim Akram’s absence due to injury was one of the most talked about points of the 1996 quarterfinal match between India and Pakistan.
It was a game that would decide the fate of both teams. Navjot Sidhu’s 93 from 115 balls gave India a perfect start before Ajay Jadeja’s brutal assault on Waqar Younis cemented the IND-PAK rivalry.
Jadeja’s flurry in the death overs took India to 287/8 after 50 overs. Waqar Ahmed and Mushtaq Ahmad each grabbed two wickets.
Saeed Anwar, Sohail, and their team made a great start in reply. After being taunted and teased by Sohail in the previous over, Venkatesh Prasad produced a World Cup-defining moment when he tore the Pakistan opener’s mid-shaft.
Saleem Miandad and Miandad were both given starts, but Prasad was too strong on his home ground of Bangalore. Miandad’s final World Cup match was a disappointment, as Pakistan were eliminated. This allowed India to advance to the semifinal.
1999: India wins by 47 runs at Manchester
This India vs Pakistan match was the most emotional and intense of all. Both teams could keep the Kargil War between India and Pakistan at bay, even though the World Cup began around the time of the war.
India’s batting was excellent, and Prasad took five wickets to take their lead up to 3-0. Tendulkar started India’s innings with a 45-run quickfire. Rahul Dravid, Mohammad Azharuddin, and Rahul Dravid added fifty each to bring India to 227/5.
Anwar, who was once again brutal, gave India a scare by racing to 36. But once Prasad sent Anwar back, things went downhill. Prasad and Javagal Srinath’s five wickets blew away the middle order to bowl Pakistan for 180 runs with 27 balls left.
2003: India wins by six wickets at Centurion
India vs Pakistan Match is considered the best World Cup ever. India and Pakistan were unable to establish bilateral relations due to political tensions. They met at the 2003 World Cup in Centurion, where sparks flew.
How often is a 100 overshadowed by a 90? Tendulkar’s knock was the best of his World Cup career. The 98 he scored surpassed Anwar’s century and gave India the pace to chase down 273.
Tendulkar unleashed a series of stunning strokes against the Pakistan pace trio Wasim, Waqar, and Shoaib Akhtar. After cramps, he missed his hundred by just two runs but set up Dravid and Yuvraj to bring India’s score to 4-0.
2011: India wins by 29 runs at Mohali
The stakes are higher after missing out on the 2007 World Cup. The hype surrounding the World Cup semifinal in India was more than justified.
Tendulkar scored the most runs for India once again, like eight years earlier, but unlike that innings eight years prior, this one was far more impressive.
Sachin was dropped four times, survived an infamous LBW application, and scratched his way to 85 before he finally lost it. Wahab Riaz was able to dismiss Virat Dhoni, Yuvraj, and MS Dhoni with his five-wicket haul.
Suresh Raina’s unbeaten 36 propelled India from 260/6. All five Indian bowlers took two wickets in reply. Still, Yuvraj’s double strike that dismissed Asad Sharif and Younis Khan and Munaf Patel’s dream delivery to rattle Abdul Razzaq’s stumps changed the course of Pakistan’s chase.
Misbah-ul Haq had a lot of work to do, but India won the match in the last over, despite the flashbacks from Johannesburg in 2007.
2015: India wins by 76 runs at Adelaide
India’s World Cup campaign 2015 began against Pakistan for the first time. Virat Kohli’s second World Cup hundred and fifties from Shikhar Dawan and Suresh Raina allowed India to reach the 300 mark for seven wickets. Five of those were Sohail Khan.
Pakistan was expected to put up a good fight against India. Still, Mohammed Shami’s four wickets led to a poor Pakistani reply. No other batter stepped up except for Misbah, who scored fifty.
Two middle-order batsmen even registered ducks. India’s 5-0 World Cup victory over neighbours was one of the most significant victories in recent history.
2019: India wins by 89 runs in Manchester (DLS method)
Ind vs Pak met again on the same field 20 years after the 1999 World Cup. Rohit Sharma’s second of five centuries at the 1999 World Cup stole the show. MS Dhoni had not retired, and Virat Kohli, India’s captain, was still in the tournament.
India’s 336/5 was their highest World Cup total ever, thanks to Kohli’s stroke-filled 77. Rain forced the match to be reduced to just 40 overs. Pakistan was required to chase 300, but it all fell apart faster than expected. Vijay Shankar took two wickets, and Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya each.
For Pakistan, only Fakhar Zaid (62) reached a half-century. Pakistan’s best score was 212/6. India’s 7-0 win was celebrated as the Pakistani journalists in the press room wondered if this jinx would ever end.
The conclusion of the article is:
India and Pakistan’s cricket rivalry has a legendary reputation. India holds a 7-0 World Cup record. The anticipation and excitement for the next match are at an all-time peak.
