India's Women's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign gets underway against arch-rivals Pakistan at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Sunday.
Fresh from ending years of ICC heartbreak with the ODI World Cup title last year, the Women in Blue now set their sights on the one format where the trophy has always slipped away, despite five semi-final appearances and one final in the T20 World Cup.
Harmanpreet Kaur leads a side that arrives at this tournament ranked third in the world but carrying visible patches in their recent T20 record.
Series defeats against both South Africa and England over the past few months have raised genuine questions about consistency, and India managed only one win from their two warm-up matches in the lead-up to the tournament.
However, over the years, getting the better of Pakistan hasn't been a problem with India.
Across 16 T20 internationals between the two sides, India have come out on top 13 times to Pakistan's three victories.
Two of Pakistan's three wins have come at T20 World Cups. However, India still hold the advantage with six wins. The most recent clash at the 2024 T20 World Cup ended with India winning by six wickets.
India hold the record for the highest total in this match-up, posting 150 for 3 in Cape Town during the 2023 T20 World Cup as they chased down Pakistan's 149 for 4.
The 149/4 posted by Pakistan was their highest total against India in the format. Both records came in the same match, which tells you something about the quality that fixture delivered.
When it comes to run-scoring across all India vs Pakistan T20 internationals, the legendary Mithali Raj stands at the top of the chart. In 10 innings between 2009 and 2018, Raj accumulated 315 runs at an average of 45.00, with a best score of 73 not out and a strike rate of 88.23.
With the ball, India's Ekta Bisht and Pakistan's Nida Dar both claimed 10 wickets each in this fixture, though through very different paths. Bisht took her haul across just five appearances between 2012 and 2018, with a best of 3 for 14 and a remarkably low economy rate of 4.35 runs per over.
Dar required 13 appearances to reach the same tally, spanning 2010 to 2024, with a best of 3 for 12 and an economy of 5.58. Bisht's returns across fewer games underline just how difficult she was to score against in her prime.
India are the favourites to win this tie at 1.11 on Dafa, while the odds for Pakistan to win are 6.20.
