It was the 13th time India and Pakistan were clashing in a World Cup game and India had never lost to the arch-rivals. The unlucky number was going to be lucky for one, and it turned out to be lucky for Pakistan as they registered a thumping 10-wicket win to begin their T20 World Cup campaign with a bang at the Dubai Stadium on Sunday.

It has taken Pakistan almost 30 years and 13 matches to break the jinx of never having beaten India in a World Cup game. Beginning from the 1992 World Cup in Australia when the two teams met for the first time on the World stage, Pakistan were at the receiving end all times, seven in 50-over World Cup and five times in T20 matches.
