Rivalries
No rival has crossed Pakistan's path as often as New Zealand: 100 games in the period. Among matchups with at least 10 games, the best record is against Zimbabwe (49 wins in 58 games, 87.5%) and the worst is against England (19 in 73, 27.1%). The heaviest chapter is the classic against India: 63 games in this sample, with 21 wins, 40 losses and 2 ties or no results. India versus Pakistan rarely happens outside tournaments (the countries have not played a bilateral series since 2012-13), which is why every World Cup or Asia Cup meeting stops half a billion screens.

One fact to keep
