India and Pakistan games are always high pressure. Whenever these two sides meet, fans expect drama and noise in the stands.
But on quite a few occasions, Pakistan’s batting has collapsed badly against India’s bowlers. With the Asia Cup 2025 match ongoing in Dubai, this topic again comes alive.

Today Pakistan struggled once more, showing how fragile their batting can be at times. Looking back, there are several matches where Pakistan were bowled out for low totals against India. Let's take a look at the top 10 list.
Pakistan’s lowest ever T20I score against India
Pakistan's worst batting performance in T20Is against India came in the 2016 Asia Cup clash at Mirpur. They were dismissed for just 83 runs in 17.3 overs.
Hardik Pandya’s fiery spell of 3 for 8 broke the back of their batting, and India wrapped up the game by 5 wickets with Virat Kohli top scoring with 49 runs. That match remains the lowest T20I total for Pakistan in this rivalry.
How did Pakistan perform in the latest Asia Cup 2025 match?
In the September 14 Asia Cup game in Dubai, Pakistan were again in trouble early. Both openers went cheaply, and though Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman tried to settle things, wickets kept falling.
Axar Patel struck twice in quick succession, and then Kuldeep Yadav removed two more in one over, leaving Pakistan in deep trouble.
At one stage, even crossing 100 looked difficult. But then came Shaheen Afridi, who played a stunning cameo of 33 runs off just 16 balls. His clean hitting gave Pakistan the final score of 127 for 9 in 20 overs.
