Pakistan vs Australia Head to Head: Matches, Players and Timeline
Covers 97 matches between Pakistan and Australia from Feb 2003 to Jun 2026 (Tests, ODIs and T20Is with ball-by-ball records).
Ask who rules the Pakistan vs Australia head to head and the honest reply is: it varies by format. Australia have 61 wins and Pakistan 31 from the 97 games played since Feb 2003, yet Pakistan lead the T20Is 15 to 14.
The long game has been Australia’s. They have won 14 of 21 Tests and the last 4 in a row. Pakistan’s best recent form has come in the shorter formats, including three straight T20I wins at Lahore in Jan and Feb 2026.
Format by Format: Tests to Australia, T20Is Even
Tests are the most lopsided part of this match-up. Australia have won 14 of the 21 played since Dec 2004, Pakistan 4, with 3 draws. Pakistan’s last Test win in the data came at Abu Dhabi on 16 Oct 2018, by 373 runs. Since then Australia have won at Brisbane, Adelaide, Lahore, Perth, Melbourne and Sydney.
ODIs also lean Australia’s way, 33 wins to 12 in 45 games. But the recent ODI list reads differently. Pakistan won 4 of the latest 6, including wins by 9 wickets at Adelaide and 8 wickets at Perth in Nov 2024, and by 4 wickets at Lahore on 4 Jun 2026, the most recent match of all.
T20Is are a near dead heat: 15 to Pakistan, 14 to Australia, with 1 tie and 1 no result. The Lahore series in 2026 ended with a 111-run win on 1 Feb, Pakistan’s biggest in the format here. For Pakistan’s full record see the Pakistan team stats, and for the other side, the Australia records page.

Azhar Ali (Pakistan) is second in Tests with 1,300 runs. Pakistan’s answer is Babar Azam: 506 T20I runs at 46.00, plus 811 in ODIs, good for second place.
Australia’s bowlers hold the Test table: Nathan Lyon (Australia) with 58 wickets and Mitchell Starc (Australia) with 54. Among the leading group, PJ Cummins (Australia) is the cheapest at 19.36 per wicket. In the white-ball formats, Pakistan’s bowlers lead. Two Afridis sit on top of the ODI table: Shahid (Pakistan) with 29 and Shaheen Shah (Pakistan) one behind at a miserly 14.75. Saeed Ajmal (Pakistan) heads the T20I list with 19.
Where They Meet and How Matches Are Won
Grounds matter here. Pakistan have not won in 8 meetings at the Sydney Cricket Ground or in 5 at the Gabba. On neutral and home soil it is much tighter: the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the most used venue with 13 matches, has split 5 to Pakistan and 6 to Australia.
Chasing has been the better ODI route: 26 successful pursuits, 19 successful defences, and first innings that average 247 runs. In T20Is it flips, and setting a target has won 17 games to the chasers’ 12. Calling correctly has helped too, with toss winners taking 19 of the 29 T20Is that had a result, plus 11 of the 18 Tests that did.
Australia’s 3 innings wins head the biggest-wins list, the largest by an innings and 48 runs at Adelaide on 29 Nov 2019. The widest margin by runs is Australia’s 491-run Test win at the WACA on 16 Dec 2004, a game in which Glenn McGrath’s 8/24 skittled Pakistan for 72.
