The countdown to T20 World Cup 2026 is on, with action starting February 7 and India hitting the field first up. A deep dive into records reveals seven teams against whom India has an impeccable, unblemished slate in the competition. This feat speaks volumes about tactical acumen and player prowess.
Since 2007, 52 outings have yielded 35 triumphs, 15 setbacks, a tie, and a no-result, for a stellar 70.58% win clip – best in the business. South Africa sits second at 66.66%, Australia third at 63.82%.
India has mastered matchups with Afghanistan (4-0), Bangladesh (5-0), Ireland (2-0), plus one-off wins against Namibia, Netherlands, USA, and Zimbabwe. These weren’t flukes but displays of overwhelming superiority.
Against Pakistan, seven victories in eight (87.50%) keep the edge sharp. South Africa: five from seven (71.43%). But New Zealand (0-3) and Sri Lanka (0-2) have proven kryptonite, areas ripe for redemption.
This unbeaten list isn’t just trivia; it’s a psychological weapon. As India chases glory, leveraging these strengths while addressing gaps could pave the way to another crown. Cricket fans worldwide await the drama.
