The first clash between India and Pakistan in the modern format of cricket — T20 — was in the ICC World T20 2007 at Durban, South Africa. And the match got to end with none of the teams winning! Yes, the match was tied. Bowl-Out, the decider of tied matches, was played and India won on the same basis. With this, India continued their streak of never losing to Pakistan in World Cups (both ODIs and T20Is). India also defeated Pakistan by a mere five runs in the final of the same tournament to lift the inaugural T2o World Cup.
Both teams once again met in the ICC World T20, this time five years later, in Sri Lanka in 2012. India held the upper hand once again and the result was the same which began in the 1992 World Cup. Three months later, they played a T20 bilateral series of two matches in India which ended in a draw 1-1.
Now, India in the way to continue their winning streak against the neighbouring oppositions and the oppositions searching for a way to end the streak, they meet in the first match of Super-10 stage of the ICC World T20 in Bangladesh.
Overall, Pakistan has a better record against India in both the other formats — Tests & ODIs.
