IND vs PAK- Dubai International Stadium Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Probable Playing XI

The highly anticipated cricket match between India and Pakistan is set to take place today, February 23, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Fans eagerly await this high-voltage clash, as India and Pakistan now face each other only in ICC events or multinational tournaments like the Asia Cup.

India has entered the tournament as a strong contender for the Champions Trophy, while Pakistan is the official host of the competition. However, due to security concerns, Team India is not playing in Pakistan, and all their matches will be held in Dubai. Rohit Sharma and his team have started their campaign on a strong note, securing a six-wicket victory against Bangladesh in Dubai.

IND vs PAK Head-to-Head in ODIs

India and Pakistan have played a total of 135 ODIs against each other. Pakistan has won 73 matches, while India has won 57. However, these statistics do not fully reflect the cricketing and political dynamics between the two nations.

Until the 1990s, Pakistan dominated India in ODIs, but since the 2000s, Indian cricket has evolved significantly, with the team becoming a global powerhouse. Despite this, the overall head-to-head record still leans in favor of Pakistan, mainly due to the large number of matches played before India’s rise.

India vs Pakistan Record in ODIs at Neutral Venues

Most India-Pakistan ODI matches have been played at neutral venues. At such venues, Pakistan holds a slight edge, having won 40 matches compared to India’s 34 wins. A major factor behind this is the numerous games played in Sharjah during the 1990s when Pakistan often had the upper hand.

India vs Pakistan Record in the Champions Trophy

In the history of the ICC Champions Trophy, India and Pakistan have faced off five times. Pakistan has won three matches, while India has won two. The most notable clash was in the 2017 Champions Trophy final, where Pakistan defeated India to claim the title.

India’s Dominance Over Pakistan in ICC Events

Despite Pakistan’s occasional victories, India has generally dominated Pakistan in ICC tournaments. Apart from the 2017 Champions Trophy final and a single win in the T20 World Cup, India has consistently outperformed Pakistan in major ICC events.
