India and Pakistan have faced each other five times in the Hong Kong Sixes, with Pakistan winning four encounters and India registering one victory.

India's only win in this head-to-head record came in the 2025 edition, when the team defeated Pakistan through the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.
