Clash of Titans: India vs Pakistan ODI Head-to-Head Record

[REPORT] The Final Word on India vs Pakistan ODI Head-to-Head Record

The numbers are true. India and Pakistan have played against each other 136 times in ODIs since their first match in 1978, with Pakistan winning 73 times and India winning 58 times.

But here’s the surprise: India has done really well in recent ICC events, changing things like a storm after a long wait. Their most recent win was in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, where Virat Kohli scored a century, helping India win strongly in the group stage. This kept India unbeaten against Pakistan in ICC ODIs since 2017.

Yes, that’s true — India has won six ODI matches in a row against Pakistan in world tournaments.  It’s more than just history; it’s a trend, and it’s changing the story of the rivalry.

[TRENDING] Stat Attack: Head-to-Head Like Never Before

Here’s how the scoreboard looks when the dust settles:

For decades, Pakistan ruled the roost in ODIs. Between the ’80s and early 2000s, their swing bowlers and finishers often outclassed India’s flair.

But cricket’s tide turned post-2010. India’s batting depth and fielding sharpness have sliced through Pakistan’s traditional strengths like a hot knife through butter.

Recent results show a clear blue wave crashing over the green tide.

[UPDATE] World Cup Wonders: India’s Clean Slate

According to reports and match archives, India has been untouchable in ODI World Cups:

India’s 8-0 World Cup record is not just dominance — it’s daylight robbery on the biggest stage. Pakistan’s only silver lining in ICC ODIs remains the 2017 Champions Trophy final win, a thunderbolt that broke Indian hearts. But since then? Total control by the Men in Blue.

Bilateral series? A distant memory. The last came in 2012-13, and since then, political tensions have kept full tours off the table. Instead, Asia Cups and ICC events have become the stage for these gladiators.

In Asia Cup ODIs, India leads 8-5 (with two no results), further sharpening the recent dominance narrative.

All Head – to – Head Results

Amit Mishra’s Take

As a writer and die-hard cricket journalist and enthusiast:

Positives:

• This rivalry is pure cricketing theatre. Even in a lopsided ICC record, every match feels like a World Cup final.
• India’s recent dominance in ICC events has given the team a mental edge, particularly vital when stakes are sky-high.

Negatives:

• The lack of bilateral series has robbed fans of more regular India-Pakistan ODIs. Cricket deserves more of this fire and fury.
• While historical records favor Pakistan, recent data skews heavily in India’s favor, making the rivalry more statistical than situational of late.

This is more than a sports story — it’s a tale about countries, cultures, and feelings happening on a small field. India and Pakistan ODIs are like a big play in cricket — intense, full of feelings, and always surprising.
