India lead the India vs Pakistan Women’s T20 head-to-head 14-3 in 17 matches, and they just made it four wins in a row with a 64-run thrashing in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 opener.
This was India’s 14th win over Pakistan in 17 T20 matches, extending their unbeaten streak against their arch-rivals to four games. Here is the complete head-to-head record, tournament splits, and the all-time leading run-scorers and wicket-takers.
India vs Pakistan Women’s T20I Head-to-Head
India have never really let Pakistan settle into this rivalry. Out of 17 meetings since 2009, Pakistan has won only three times.
| Stat | Detail |
|---|---|
| Total matches played | 17 |
| India won | 14 |
| Pakistan won | 3 |
| India’s win rate | 82.4% |
| First meeting | June 13, 2009 (Taunton, T20 World Cup) |
| Latest meeting | June 14, 2026 (Edgbaston, T20 World Cup) |
| Pakistan’s last win | October 7, 2022 (Asia Cup, Sylhet) |
| Current streak | India, 4 wins running |
Their rivalry started in 2009 in England, since bilateral series between the two boards do not happen because of the political situation between the countries. So almost every meeting comes at an ICC event or an Asian Cricket Council tournament, which keeps the stakes high every single time.
India vs Pakistan Women’s Head-to-Head
Three tournaments have hosted every India vs Pakistan women’s T20I so far. The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup has produced the most meetings.
| Tournament | Matches | India Won | Pakistan Won |
|---|---|---|---|
| ICC Women’s T20 World Cup | 9 | 7 | 2 |
| Women’s T20 Asia Cup | 7 | 6 | 1 |
| Commonwealth Games | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Total | 17 | 14 | 3 |
Pakistan’s only Asia Cup win came in the 2022 edition. India have otherwise swept every Asia Cup and Commonwealth Games clash against their neighbours.
Women’s T20 World Cup 2026: India’s 64-Run Demolition of Pakistan
India opened their Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign at Edgbaston, Birmingham, on June 14, with a result that barely felt like a contest. India Women 170/6 in 20 overs (Smriti Mandhana 68; Fatima Sana 2/33; Sadia Iqbal 2/41) beat Pakistan Women 106/10 in 17 overs (Muneeba Ali 41; Deepti Sharma 5/10) by 64 runs.
Smriti Mandhana set the tone with the bat. She top-scored with 68 to lift India from 18 for 2 to 170, their highest total in a T20 World Cup against Pakistan. Richa Ghosh then added a quick 34 off 17 balls to push the total past 170.
With the ball, Deepti Sharma turned the chase into a procession. This was India’s 14th win over Pakistan in 17 T20 matches, and Sunday’s haul also saw Deepti Sharma become the top wicket-taker in Women’s T20I cricket with 166 scalps in 145 matches.
A few extra details worth knowing:
- It was a sell-out crowd of 18,814 at Edgbaston, a record attendance for a Women’s World Cup group match.
- It has been 10 years and counting since Pakistan’s last T20 World Cup win over India.
- India’s next Women’s T20 World Cup match will be against the Netherlands at Headingley in Leeds.

Records and Milestones in This Rivalry
Here are the Highest and lowest Totals in the Rivalry:
Highest And Lowest Team Totals
India’s 170/6 from the 2026 World Cup opener is now the highest team total in this fixture’s history, beating the previous best from 2023.
| Type | Team | Score | Venue | Match |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highest (new record) | India | 170/6 | Edgbaston | T20 WC 2026 |
| Previous highest | India | 151/3 | Cape Town | T20 WC 2023 |
| Lowest | Pakistan | 63 all out | Guangzhou | Asia Cup 2012 final |
The lowest total in this fixture is 63, with Pakistan holding that record from the Women’s Asia Cup. That 2012 final loss came after Pakistan bowled India out for just 81 and still couldn’t chase it down.
Biggest Wins And Closest Finishes
India’s 64-run margin from 2026 is now their biggest victory by runs in this head-to-head. By wickets, the 9-wicket win in Basseterre back in 2010 remains the most lopsided chase.
On the flip side, Pakistan’s only two wins were both squeakers. They beat India by 1 run in Galle (2012) and by 2 runs in Delhi (2016), proof that even on a bad day, India rarely lose by much.
Top Run-Scorers in India vs Pakistan Women’s T20Is
Before the 2026 World Cup opener, Mithali Raj sat comfortably at the top of this list. Mithali Raj scored 315 runs across 10 matches between 2009 and 2018, with a highest score of 73 not out and an average of 45.00.
| Player | Span | Mat | Runs | HS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mithali Raj (IND) | 2009-2018 | 10 | 315 | 73* |
| Bismah Maroof (PAK) | 2009-2023 | 14 | 248 | 68* |
| Smriti Mandhana (IND) | 2014-2026 | 11 | 307* | 68 |
| Nida Dar (PAK) | 2010-2024 | 13 | 194 | 56* |
| Harmanpreet Kaur (IND) | 2009-2024 | 15 | 194 | 34* |
That 68 against Pakistan pushes Smriti Mandhana to 307 career runs against them, just 8 runs short of Mithali Raj’s all-time record. Mandhana had already emerged as one of India’s most important batters in this rivalry, with 239 runs from 10 matches at an average of 26.55 before the World Cup opener. At this rate, the record will not survive India’s next match against Pakistan.
Top Wicket-Takers in India vs Pakistan Women’s T20Is
This list got a new leader on June 14, 2026. Ekta Bisht had been the benchmark, taking 10 wickets in just 5 matches between 2012 and 2018, with an economy of 4.35 and an average of 8.70.
| Player | Span | Mat | Wkts | BBI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deepti Sharma (IND) | 2018-2026 | 8 | 14 | 5/10 |
| Ekta Bisht (IND) | 2012-2018 | 5 | 10 | 3/14 |
| Nida Dar (PAK) | 2010-2024 | 13 | 10 | 3/12 |
| Sana Mir (PAK) | 2009-2018 | 11 | 9 | 4/13 |
| Priyanka Roy (IND) | 2009-2010 | 2 | 8 | 5/16 |
Deepti Sharma’s 5/10 in the World Cup opener was a career-best, taking her tally to 14 wickets against Pakistan and making her the outright leader in this matchup.
Before this match, she had already contributed important wickets in the middle overs for India, helping the team maintain control in tight situations across 7 matches. The same haul also made her the highest wicket-taker in Women’s T20I history overall.
Why India Have Dominated This Rivalry
The numbers tell a simple story. India have lost only three times to Pakistan in 17 T20Is, and two of those came down to a single run or two.
Pakistan’s lone comfortable win, by 13 runs in the 2022 Asia Cup, still stands as their best moment in this fixture. Everything else has gone India’s way, often by big margins.
Spin bowling has been India’s biggest weapon throughout. From Ekta Bisht’s tidy 10 wickets at an economy under 4.5, to Deepti Sharma’s recent 5/10, India’s spinners have repeatedly choked Pakistan’s middle order.
On the flip side, Pakistan’s batting has struggled to build partnerships against India. In the 2026 opener, nine of Pakistan’s 10 wickets fell to Indian spinners, with Muneeba Ali’s 41 standing as their only real resistance. At this point, Pakistan might want to start their innings with a prayer and a powerplay plan, in that order.

Conclusion: India Women Dominates Pakistan Women in World Cup T20’s
India vs Pakistan Women’s T20 head-to-head now reads 14-3 from 17 matches, with India winning the last four in a row and setting two new records in the process.
Smriti Mandhana sits one innings away from the all-time run-scoring record, and Deepti Sharma already owns the wicket-taking one. The rivalry continues to be one-sided on paper, but every fixture still draws record crowds and fresh headlines.
