Harmanpreet Kaur T20I record vs Pakistan [Source: AFP]
The stage is set for yet another India vs Pakistan riveting match as the two Asian sides will lock horns in the group stage match in the T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday. India have always dominated the proceedings against their arch-rivals across formats, but as of late, Pakistan has done well in the game’s shortest format.
The two teams boast several key players who can snatch the game away in the blink of an eye. For India, Smriti Mandhana is always at the top, but one shouldn’t forget the threat that skipper Harmanpreet Kaur possesses.
Harmanpreet, the World Cup winner, has the ability to punish the best in the business as the Pakistan bowlers need to be wary of her. Ahead of the IND Vs PAK T20 World Cup match, we take a look at Harmanpreet Kaur’s T20I record against the Pakistan team.

- In the T20 World Cup 2026, the Indian captain will aim to improve her T20I record against Pakistan as she is due for a big one against them.
Why Harmanpreet Kaur could be the danger batter for India vs Pakistan
T20 cricket is all about slam bang and attacking cricket, and Harmanpreet Kaur has been one of the pioneers of it in the Indian side. She can play an aggressive brand of cricket, and has the ability to win matches for India from any situation.
In the current Indian side, only Harmanpreet, Bharti Fulmali, and Richa Ghosh can play an attacking brand of cricket, right from the word go, and hence, the Indian skipper automatically becomes a dangerous prospect for Pakistan.
The Pakistan bowlers will aim to get her dismiss cheaply, as her presence will slowly and steadily take the T20 World Cup match away from the Pakistan side.
