As the T20 World Cup 2026 gears up to kick off on February 7, Team India stands ready to launch its campaign right from day one. With a storied legacy in the shortest format, India boasts an unbeaten record against seven specific opponents in this prestigious tournament. This remarkable streak underscores the Men in Blue’s dominance on the global stage.
Since lifting the inaugural T20 World Cup trophy in 2007, India has contested 52 matches, securing victory in 35, suffering 15 defeats, clinching one tie, and witnessing one no-result game. Their overall win percentage stands at an impressive 70.58%, placing them at the top of the charts among all teams.
Breaking down the unbeaten foes, India has triumphed in all four encounters against Afghanistan, showcasing clinical performances each time. Against Bangladesh, the record is even more flawless with five straight wins. Ireland has fallen twice in as many meetings, while single victories have come over Namibia, Netherlands, USA, and Zimbabwe.
Even against fierce rivals like Pakistan, India holds a strong 87.50% win rate across eight clashes, losing just once. South Africa has been overcome in five of seven battles, good for 71.43%. However, chinks appear against New Zealand, where all three matches ended in defeat, and Sri Lanka, undefeated in two outings against India.
South Africa follows India with a 66.66% success rate, while Australia trails at 63.82%. As India eyes another title run, this unbeaten sextet-plus-one serves as a confidence booster, reminding fans of the team’s unyielding spirit in T20 World Cup lore.
