Pakistani cricket team in India in 2012–13

The Pakistan cricket team toured India from 25 December 2012 to 6 January 2013. The tour consisted of three One Day International, and two Twenty20 International matches.[1] This was Pakistan's first cricket tour of India in five years.[2] Several photography agencies, including Getty Images, have been barred from taking pictures following a dispute with the Board of Control for Cricket in India. The Twenty20 series was drawn 1–1; Pakistan won the ODI series 2–1. As of 2023, this is the last bilateral series to have taken place between the two nations.
