The ‘Mauka Mauka’ advertisement became quite popular among the fans of the cricket fraternity during the ICC ODI World Cup 2015. This catchy advertisement showcases India’s total domination over Pakistan in World Cup games. Team India holds a record 7-0 lead over their arch-rivals in terms of the head-to-head in the ICC ODI World Cup.
Meanwhile, the “Mauka Mauka” portrays the Pakistan cricket team getting another chance to churn out a win over India in the World Cup but history tells that they always surrender at the hands of India. Team India and Pakistan locked horns with each other twice in the Asia Cup 2023 tournament recently.
The first meeting between the two teams saw no result due to rain in Colombo. However, in the second meeting, Team India had the last laugh in the battle as they got the better of Pakistan by a huge margin of 228 runs in the Super 4 stage. Team India led by Rohit Sharma defeated Sri Lanka in the final to win the eighth Asia Cup title.
