I usually avoid these threads, but this piece of stats suprised me.
Indians have been bragging about how well they play against Pakistan in World Cups when the preassure is on. Well that is fine.
But there is no more preassure games than finals in tournaments and Pakistan lead 8-3, wow, that was a real surprise. So Pakistan actually handle the preassure when it matters the most lol.
Depends on what type of final? Coca cola cup kind of finals?
Or Asia Cup T20WC kind of final?
Are coca cola cup kind of finals more important than a knockout match of a ICC event?
Also Pakistan hasn't reached the Knockouts of a WC since 2011, infact pakistan has been to only one WC knock out since 2000. This is about 50 over WC. That match pakistan lost.If you don't reach the knockouts no fear of losing.
T20WC there has been one knockout and Pakistan has lost.
India has never lost a Asia Cup final to Pakistan.
India has lost 1 ICC final to Pakistan.
So the question arises, which are these 8 finals?
The current standing for India vs Pakistan finals in 3 or more team finals is 8-4
Question is which are these 12 finals
