IND vs PAK Head-to-Head Record in Hong Kong Sixes

India and Pakistan have faced each other five times in the Hong Kong Sixes, with Pakistan winning four encounters and India registering one victory.

India's only win in this head-to-head record came in the 2025 edition, when the team defeated Pakistan through the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.

Pakistan will therefore enter the 2026 meeting with a 4-1 advantage over India in the tournament's head-to-head record. The latest encounter offers India an opportunity to improve that record.
