Mr. Saqlain says, "If you're a good team, I think let's play 10 Tests, 10 ODIs, and 10 T20Is against Pakistan, and then everything would become clear." While the Tests and T20s might be a bit up for debate, here’s a comparison of the last 10 ODIs between Pakistan and India, just in case we’re looking for some clarity:
- CT 2013: India won by 8 wickets.
- Asia Cup 2014: India won by just 1 wicket in the last over.
- 2015 WC (Adelaide): India won by 76 runs.
- 2017 CT (League Game): India won by 124 runs.
- 2017 CT (Final): India lost by 180 runs
- 2018 Asia Cup (Dubai): India won by 8 wickets (in the 40th over).
- 2018 Asia Cup (Dubai): India won by 9 wickets (in the 40th over).
- 2019 WC (Manchester): India won by 89 runs (the result was practically decided by the 25th over).
- 2023 Asia Cup (SL): No result due to rain.
- 2023 Asia Cup (SL): India won by 228 runs (Pakistan scored 128).
- 2023 WC: India won by 7 wickets in 31 overs (Pakistan scored 192).
- CT 2025: India won by 6 wickets in the 43rd over, chasing 241.
Based on this little collection of results, one might say the pattern seems pretty
clear already on how a 10 match ODI series will go
