Top 3 iconic India vs Pakistan matches in T20 World Cup history
Tournament meetings between the teams are rare and are limited to major tournaments.
1. India vs Pakistan, 2007 T20 World Cup Final, Johannesburg
The 2007 T20 World Cup final between India and Pakistan at Johannesburg had everything a cricket fan could dream of, with a last-over finish that changed the game forever. Batting first after MS Dhoni won the toss, India posted 157, thanks to Gautam Gambhir’s 75 and a cameo from Rohit Sharma at the death. Pakistan chased well, but wickets at regular intervals put them on the back foot before Misbah-ul-Haq pulled them back into contention.
The match came down to the final over, bowled by the relatively unknown Joginder Sharma. With six needed off four balls, Misbah attempted a scoop, only to be caught by S Sreesanth at short fine leg. The moment sealed India’s five-run victory, crowning them as the inaugural T20 world champions and leading to a T20 revolution that changed cricket forever.
