Dubai, Sep 22 (UNI) If you look at India versus Pakistan over the last seven high-profile clashes, the trend is undeniable: India has consistently had the upper hand.
This isn’t merely a streak of luck; it’s a product of smart cricketing brains, composed batting under pressure, and bowlers who strike at exactly the right moments.
The Asia Cup 2025 offered two clear examples of India’s dominance, with back-to-back wins by six and seven wickets.
These were not just victories; they were clinical statements. The Men in Blue chased targets efficiently, rotating strike smartly and capitalizing on every mistake from the opposition.
In the Champions Trophy 2025, India again showed composure and tactical awareness, defeating Pakistan by six wickets, while the T20 World Cup 2024 provided a nail-biting six-run win that tested nerves and skill alike.
India’s supremacy is not just limited to recent years. The ICC World Cup 2023 saw India win by seven wickets, while in the Asia Cup 2023 they pulled off a colossal 228-run triumph, leaving Pakistan struggling to match the intensity and depth of the Indian batting lineup.
Even the T20 World Cup 2022, though closer at four wickets, highlighted India’s ability to hold their nerve in crunch situations.
What is particularly noteworthy across these encounters is consistency. India has balanced aggression with strategy, ensuring that every department — be it batting, bowling, or fielding — contributes when it matters most. Players like Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah, and Suryakumar Yadav have often led from the front, while the middle-order has provided stability and finishing power.
On the other hand, Pakistan has shown flashes of brilliance, but time and again, India has managed to suppress that momentum, either through disciplined bowling or smart field placements.
This streak isn’t just about statistics; it’s about psychological edge. Pakistan may approach each match with confidence, but India enters these contests knowing that their preparation, execution, and calm under pressure give them a distinct advantage.
If history is any guide, the Men in Blue are not just playing matches — they are setting standards in one of cricket’s most high-octane rivalries. UNI BDN SS
