Curse of India's Opponents in T20 World Cup

  Pakistan and New Zealand are the teams that beat India by a huge margin in the first two matches of the Super 12 round of the Twenty20 World Cup this year. Pakistan, who came to the tournament with the best team, beat India for the first time in the World Cup and many thought they would finally end up as the champions of this edition of T20 World cup. But the verdict was different. Australia lost to India in the warm-up match, defeating Pakistan in the semi-finals and New Zealand in the final. With this, another coincidence in the Twenty20 World Cup continues. No team that defeated India in the group stage of the Twenty20 World Cup has ever won a trophy in the same World Cup. Sri Lanka defeated India in the final of the 2014 Twenty20 World Cup. The Windies defeated India in the semi-finals of the 2016 World Cup and later clinched the title. But these 2 matches do not fall in the group stage. What was the fate of the teams that beat India in the group stage of the Twenty20 World Cup
