Follow live coverage of India vs Pakistan from the ODI Cricket World Cup today.
The ICC Test Championship sees nine teams compete across a two-year cycle of matches before a two-team final decides the winner. The inaugural competition was won by New Zealand after a thrilling victory over India in June 2021.
The 50-over World Cup is far older and has been competed for since back in 1975. Australia are the record winners having run out victorious on five occasions (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2015). England took the 2019 crown after a dramatic Ben Stokes-inspired super-over win over New Zealand at Lord’s.

It’s a huge moment! Siraj traps Abdullah and the breakthrough is obtained.
A low skipper of a delivery, clattering into his pad and igniting a roar from the crowd, Pakistan absorb their first blow and out comes Babar Azam, a big stage… but this is a bigtime player.
Elsewhere, it’s bad news for New Zealand as Kane Williamson has fractured his left thumb. The Black Caps call up Tom Blundell.
