India vs Pakistan: Who Is Stronger in Women's ODIs? 🇮🇳🇵🇰
Who is stronger in women's ODIs: India or Pakistan? Team strength (Elo rating) year by year, up to 2026.
What is an Elo rating? A strength score for teams, calculated from every match ever played: win and you gain points, lose and you drop - more for beating a strong team. Higher = stronger; 1500 is an average team.
India: 1,405 (1982) → best 1,764 (2025) → 1,754 (2026) · World Cup titles: 2025
Pakistan: 1,395 (1998) → best 1,460 (2026) → 1,460 (2026)
What the number means: 1800+ = world top, 1600 = a strong team, 1500 = average, below 1300 = a weak team.
The rating only counts results, so a team that beats strong teams climbs fast; years without matches keep the old rating.
Elo rating = a strength score for a team, calculated by us from every international match it played in that format. After each match the winner takes points from the loser - more when the winner was the weaker team; a draw or tie moves a few points to the weaker side. Every team starts at 1500. Lines are smoothed over 3 years; the numbers are the real end-of-year ratings.
Terms used:
- Elo rating: a strength score from all results; more points = stronger team
- our calculation: no official rating goes back to 1877, so we calculated one with the Elo method
- Test: the longest format, up to 5 days, can end in a draw
- ODI: One Day International, 50 overs per team
- T20I: Twenty20 International, 20 overs per team
Data: match results from the ESPNcricinfo archive (via the outside-edge/toss-up dataset, 1884-2015, plus the first Tests 1877-1884) and Cricsheet (cricsheet.org, 2016 - October 2026). Afghanistan is missing from Cricsheet after 2015 and is not shown after 2015. Elo rating: our calculation.
