They first played a one-day international at Quetta on 1 October 1978, during India's first tour of Pakistan in seventeen years. India made 170 for 7 and defended it by four runs. Within a decade it had become the most-watched fixture in the sport.

Pakistan owned the first two decades of it. Most of those matches were played on neutral ground in Sharjah, where Pakistan's fast bowling and India's nerves in a chase produced a very lopsided ledger, and where Javed Miandad hit Chetan Sharma for six off the last ball of the 1986 Austral-Asia Cup final. Nineteen wins from thirty in the 1980s, twenty-six from forty-five in the 1990s - that head start is the whole reason Pakistan still lead today.

The 2010s turned it round. India won ten of the fourteen played in that decade and have taken every meeting in the 2020s bar an abandonment, helped by a fixture list that shrank to World Cups, Champions Trophies and Asia Cups once bilateral cricket stopped. One line stands above the rest: India have never lost to Pakistan in a fifty-over World Cup match. The heaviest of those wins came at Ahmedabad in October 2023, when Pakistan slid from 155 for 2 to 191 all out and India knocked the runs off in 30.3 overs.

Pakistan's best day in the modern game was the 2017 Champions Trophy final at The Oval. Fakhar Zaman made 114, they posted 338 for 4, and India were bowled out for 158 - a 180-run defeat that is still India's heaviest by runs against them. India's own record margin came six years later in Colombo, on the reserve day of a washed-out Asia Cup Super Four match, when Virat Kohli and KL Rahul both finished unbeaten on hundreds in a total of 356 for 2 and Pakistan managed 128. Their most recent meeting, at Dubai in the 2025 Champions Trophy, went the same way, India chasing 242 with six wickets and 45 balls in hand.
