Pakistan vs England ODI Head to Head: Overall Record

England lead the head to head in a clear way. The English team has won almost 62 percent of the matches played between the two sides. Pakistan started strong in this rivalry and won many famous games in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but England have pulled far ahead in the modern era.

The three no result matches show how rain has played a part in this fixture over the years. In English conditions, weather has often had the final say. Still, when the two teams have finished a game, England have finished on top far more often than Pakistan.

Pakistan vs England ODI Series History

The first famous chapter of this rivalry came in 1974, when Pakistan toured England and won the ODI series 2-0. It was a proud moment for Pakistan cricket and announced the team as a rising force in the one day game.

The greatest day in this fixture came at Melbourne in 1992. Pakistan beat England by 22 runs in the World Cup final and lifted the trophy for the first time. Wasim Akram produced a spell that fans still talk about today, and the win remains the most loved moment in Pakistan cricket history. Pakistan also won the last bilateral series between the two teams in the 2005-06 season at home, taking the series 3-2. In 2017, Pakistan beat England by 8 wickets in the Champions Trophy semi final at Cardiff on the way to another famous title.

Since 2010, however, England have won every bilateral ODI series against Pakistan. The English white ball revolution changed the balance of power, and Pakistan have not found an answer to the aggressive English batting line up in recent years.

Last 5 Pakistan vs England ODI Matches

The last five meetings show how tough this fixture has become for Pakistan. England have won four of the last five games, and the only Pakistan win came in the 2019 World Cup at Trent Bridge, when the team in green defended the total and won by 14 runs.

The 2021 tour of England was a painful one for Pakistan. England won the series 3-0 with a much changed squad. At Edgbaston on 13 July 2021, Babar Azam played a stunning innings of 158, but England still chased down the target and won by 3 wickets.

What to Expect on 20 October 2026

Pakistan and England will meet again on 20 October 2026 at Rawalpindi, and the game promises to be a cracker. England will start as the favorite after years of rule over this fixture, but Pakistan will have the home crowd behind them and the conditions they know best.

England will miss two big names. Jos Buttler is out with a hamstring injury, and Jofra Archer has been rested. But the squad still looks strong, with Adil Rashid and Sam Curran back in the mix. Harry Brook will lead the team as captain, and the young leader will want to keep the winning run going.

Pakistan will look to the star batters to fire at home. A win against England would be a huge boost for the team and the fans. History says England will win, but home advantage in Rawalpindi makes Pakistan a dangerous opponent. Expect a high scoring thriller with plenty of drama.
