India On The Verge Of Joining Pakistan In Elite List And Equalling New Zealand's Big Record
India are on the verge of joining arch-rivals Pakistan in an elite list of teams in T20I cricket. With 99 wins in T20I cricket so far, India are behind only Pakistan in the list of international teams with most victories in the format. Pakistan, who have played 189 T20I matches so far, have won 117 matches in T20Is. This does not include wins in super overs or other forms of tie breakers. India, on the other hand, have won 99 matches from a total of 157 matches played so far. India, thus, have a higher success rate in terms of win percentage, as compared to Pakistan. With the 2nd T20I of a three-match series against Sri Lanka in Dharamshala on Saturday, India have the chance to join Pakistan to become only the second team with 100 or more T20I wins. Both Pakistan and India are some distance ahead of South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, who are placed third, fourth and fifth, respectively, in the list.
