Apart from the 50-over World Cup 'jinx', Pakistan have also lost thrice in the Twenty20 World Cup to India, thus prompting questions of a "mental block".
The first time India and Pakistan met in a World Cup match was in 1992 when the former won by 43 runs at Sydney. Come the 1996 World Cup, and India beat Pakistan by 39 runs in Bangalore, while three years later, they again got the better off their rivals with a 47-run win in Manchester.
Maintaining their stranglehold, India under Sourav Ganguly beat their neighbours by six wickets in the 2003 World Cup at Centurion.
And in 2011,India again beat Pakistan by 29 runs at Mohali.
