The last T20 World Cup encounter between these teams took place on October 23, 2022, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia. India secured a thrilling last-ball victory, defeating Pakistan by four wickets, with Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 82 runs off 53 balls playing a key role.
The Men in Blue have dominated their neigbours in T20 World Cups. Out of the seven times they’ve faced each other, India has come out on top on six occasions (including a bowl-out win in the 2007 edition) and lost just once.
For the first time in the history of the tournament, 20 teams will fight for the coveted title in the shortest format. Teams will be divided into four groups of five each. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Super Eight phase, where the remaining teams will be split into two groups of four. The top two teams in each group will then make their way to the semifinals.
England is the defending champion having won the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia, beating Pakistan in the final.
