Pakistan has only won one match against India in ICC World Cups, a memorable 10-wicket win at the World T20 2021. However, they have had many memorable events after that, including the 2022 World T20 group stage, which the Blues won thanks to Virat Kohli’s heroics. The Greens beat the Blues in the final Champions Trophy in 2017.
India plays Bangladesh on February 20, followed by the main clash against Pakistan on February 23, and then a March 2 match against New Zealand; these are the competition’s group stage fixtures. Netflix’s documentary will be released only weeks before the important game, so the buzz around the rivalry is poised to soar above the ground.
