Ind vs Pak T20 World Cup 2022: Records and Statistics at Melbourne Cricket Ground

Australia will host the T20I World Cup 2022. The Men in Blue will face Pakistan in their opening encounter of the forthcoming T20I World Cup 2022 on October 23 at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Following a poor performance in the T20I World Cup 2021, where they failed to make the quarterfinals, the Rohit Sharma-led Men in Blue will hope for a much better showing in Australia.

The two sides last played at the 2021 T20I World Cup, when Pakistan defeated their arch-rivals by 10 wickets in their Super 12 encounter in Dubai, registering their first-ever World Cup victory over India. Mohammad Rizwan slammed an unbeaten 79, while Babar Azam scored an unbeaten 68.
