India against Pakistan is one of the most exciting rivalries in the game for a long time now and it just brightens up even more when it comes to ICC tournaments. Both teams have succumbed to the pressures and intensity of the games and the upcoming rivalry between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2021 does have a lot of expectations as well.

Due to the political issues going on between the countries, there isn’t any bilateral series taking place at the moment. India and Pakistan last met each other in the 2019 World Cup and it again went in the direction of India. Overall, in 17 matches played in the ICC tournament, Pakistan has managed to win just 3 games while India has won 14 games. Here are the 5 most epic matches in ICC tournaments between India and Pakistan.

This was in the 199 World Cup in Manchester as India won the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan in the Super six stages. India started off really well with Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid forming a good partnership at the top of the order. However, wickets in the middle overs meant that India could finish with just 227 for the loss of 6 wickets in their 50 overs.

In reply, Pakistan needed to bat with a lot of composure which did not happen and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. They lost 5 wickets for 78 runs at the 25th over-mark and never looked like getting in the run chase. Venkatesh Prasad’s 5 wicket haul wrapped up things in the end as India went on to win the game by 37 runs.
