India Women lead Pakistan Women 14-3 in T20I head-to-head after 17 matches played between the two sides, with the latest encounter being a dominant 64-run victory for India at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 in Birmingham.
This rivalry started in 2009, and since then, India have been the overwhelmingly dominant side. All three of Pakistan’s wins have come in nail-biters or multi-team tournaments, and they haven’t beaten India in a T20I since the Women’s Asia Cup 2022.
Here is a complete breakdown of the India vs Pakistan Women’s T20 head-to-head record with stats, match results, and key records.
IND-W vs PAK-W Head-to-Head Record in T20Is
India Women have been utterly dominant over Pakistan Women in T20 Internationals. In 17 matches, India have won 14 while Pakistan have managed just 3 victories. As a result, India’s win percentage against Pakistan in T20Is stands at a staggering 82.35%.
| Category | Record |
|---|---|
| Matches Played | 17 |
| India Won | 14 |
| Pakistan Won | 3 |
| Tied / No Result | 0 |
| First Played | June 13, 2009 (ICC Women’s T20 WC, Taunton) |
| Last Played | June 14, 2026 (ICC Women’s T20 WC, Birmingham) |
| India’s Win % | 82.35% |
Notably, all three of Pakistan’s T20I wins against India came in pressure-cooker situations. Two were in T20 World Cups (2012 and 2016), while the third was in the Women’s Asia Cup 2022. On the other hand, India have won nine of their last ten T20Is against Pakistan, showing a clear upward trend in dominance.
Pakistan’s Three T20I Wins Over India
Despite the lopsided overall record, Pakistan have produced some memorable results. Specifically, these are the only three occasions when Pakistan have beaten India in Women’s T20Is:
| Year | Tournament | Venue | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | ICC Women’s T20 World Cup | Galle, Sri Lanka | Pakistan won by 1 run |
| 2016 | ICC Women’s T20 World Cup | Delhi, India | Pakistan won by 2 runs |
| 2022 | Women’s Asia Cup | Sylhet, Bangladesh | Pakistan won by 13 runs |
There’s a pattern worth noting. The 2012 and 2016 World Cup wins were incredibly tight, decided by just 1 and 2 runs respectively. In contrast, the 2022 Asia Cup win (by 13 runs) was Pakistan’s most comfortable victory over India in T20Is.
India vs Pakistan Women’s T20 World Cup Head-to-Head
The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup has been the primary battleground for this rivalry, given that India and Pakistan do not play bilateral women’s series due to political tensions. Consequently, every single IND-W vs PAK-W encounter has taken place at an ICC or ACC event.
In the Women’s T20 World Cup specifically, the two teams have now met 10 times across eight editions. India have won 8 of those 10 matches, while Pakistan’s two wins remain the only ICC tournament victories they hold over India in any format.

Key Records in India Women vs Pakistan Women T20Is
This rivalry has produced several standout individual and team performances. From Mithali Raj’s run-scoring dominance to Deepti Sharma’s record-breaking spell in 2026, here are the defining numbers.
Batting Records

While Mithali Raj (now retired) holds the all-time run-scoring record, Smriti Mandhana is the standout performer among active players. Her 68 against Pakistan in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 was a defining knock, steering India from 18/2 to a commanding 170/6.

Deepti Sharma’s 5/10 against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026 was not just the best bowling figures in this rivalry but also the best ever by an India Women’s bowler in T20I cricket. Moreover, that spell helped Deepti surpass Thailand’s Thipatcha Putthawong (165 wickets) to become the all-time leading wicket-taker in Women’s T20Is with 166 scalps.
Team Records
| Record | Details |
|---|---|
| Highest Team Total | India 170/6 (T20 WC 2026, Birmingham) |

India’s 170/6 in Birmingham surpassed their own record of 151/3 (set in Cape Town in 2023) as the highest team score in IND-W vs PAK-W T20I history. Similarly, the 64-run win margin was the widest ever in this fixture, breaking away from a rivalry traditionally defined by close finishes.
Last 5 India Women vs Pakistan Women T20I Results

| Date | Event / Venue | Result | Star Performer |

Pakistan’s last T20I win over India came on October 7, 2022, in the Women’s Asia Cup at Sylhet, where they defended 137/6 successfully to win by 13 runs. Since that result, India have answered emphatically with five consecutive victories across multiple tournaments.
Top Performers in IND-W vs PAK-W T20Is
Several players have left their mark on this rivalry across the years. From the elegance of Mithali Raj and Smriti Mandhana to the all-round brilliance of Deepti Sharma, India have consistently produced match-winners against Pakistan.
India’s Key Players
Smriti Mandhana is the most dangerous active batter in this rivalry, with 307+ runs and five 50-plus scores against Pakistan. Her 68 in Birmingham (2026) rescued India from a precarious 18/2, proving once again that she thrives under pressure in IND-PAK encounters. With an average north of 30 in T20Is and a strike rate of 124+, Mandhana brings both consistency and aggression.
Deepti Sharma has become the ultimate big-match player. Her 5/10 against Pakistan in 2026 was the best bowling performance in Women’s T20I history for India, and it made her the all-time leading wicket-taker across all Women’s T20Is with 166 scalps. She has consistently been India’s go-to bowler against Pakistan, picking up key wickets in every recent encounter.
Harmanpreet Kaur, the Indian captain, has anchored multiple chases and played crucial stabilising knocks. Her partnership with Mandhana in Birmingham after the early wickets showed exactly why she remains the backbone of this team.
Pakistan’s Key Players
Nida Dar is Pakistan’s most prolific performer against India in T20Is, with 10 wickets in the fixture. She has been the one Pakistani player who consistently troubles Indian batters with her off-spin and useful lower-order contributions.
Fatima Sana, Pakistan’s current captain, is an emerging force. Her all-round ability (48 T20I wickets and 715 runs at a strike rate of 139+) makes her Pakistan’s most valuable asset. In the 2026 T20 WC match, she returned figures of 2/33 against India.
Muneeba Ali was the top scorer for Pakistan in the 2026 T20 WC match with 41 runs. As an experienced opener with 1,600+ T20I runs and two centuries, she remains the batter most likely to give Pakistan a strong start against India.
India Women vs Pakistan Women ODI Head-to-Head Record
While the keyword focus here is T20s, the ODI record adds important context to this rivalry. India Women have a perfect 12-0 record against Pakistan in ODIs, which is one of the most one-sided head-to-head advantages in all of women’s cricket.
| Category | Record |
|---|---|
| Matches Played | 12 |
| India Won | 12 |
| Pakistan Won | 0 |
| Biggest India Win | By 207 runs (Dambulla, 2008) |
| Pakistan’s Lowest Total | 57 (ODI World Cup 2009) |
No Pakistani batter has ever scored a century against India in Women’s ODIs. India’s biggest win came by 207 runs in Dambulla in 2008, while Pakistan’s lowest total in the fixture is a paltry 57, scored during the 2009 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup. Additionally, India are unbeaten in six ODI World Cup meetings with Pakistan.
IND-W vs PAK-W All-Format Head-to-Head Summary
When you combine the T20I and ODI numbers, the overall picture is strikingly one-sided. India have won 26 out of 29 matches against Pakistan across both formats, with Pakistan’s three victories all coming in T20Is.
| Format | Played | India Won | PAK Won | No Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T20Is | 17 | 14 | 3 | 0 |
| ODIs | 12 | 12 | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 29 | 26 | 3 | 0 |
What makes this even more remarkable is that India and Pakistan have never played a bilateral women’s series. Every single match has been in an ICC or ACC tournament, which means every game comes with tournament pressure. For Pakistan, that additional pressure has rarely worked in their favour.
Final Word: India Dominates Pakistan in T20 Internationals
The India vs Pakistan Women’s T20 head-to-head record (14-3 in favour of India) reflects a consistent gap in quality between the two sides.
While Pakistan have produced occasional shocks, particularly in T20 World Cups, India’s dominance across formats is hard to argue with. With the 2026 T20 World Cup underway, this rivalry continues to be one of the most watched in women’s cricket globally.
