mysql date in_SELECT date in Mysql Returning wrong data

I'm trying to generate a report, but It's returning incorret data. I'm trying to search informations between two different dates.

$data1 = '21/02/2019 03:46';

$data2 = '16/08/2019 03:46';

$data1 = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y H:i', $data1)->format('Y-m-d');

$data2 = DateTime::createFromFormat('d/m/Y H:i', $data2)->format('Y-m-d');

echo $data1;

$sql = "

SELECT p.pedido_id

, p.pedido_status

, STR_TO_DATE(p.pedido_data,'%d/%m/%Y') as pedido_data

, l.lista_pedido

, l.lista_item as item_id

, l.lista_title as item_title

, SUM(l.lista_qtde) as total

FROM pedido p

JOIN lista l

ON lista_pedido = pedido_id

WHERE pedido_status = 3

AND (pedido_data >= $data1 AND pedido_data <= $data2)

GROUP by item_id;

";

$query = mysqli_query($conn,$sql);

When it appears the result, it brings results from other dates either.

This is the table of Results:

253 Fio de Malha - Marfim 2018-12-08

254 Fio de Malha - Areia 2018-12-07

257 Kit Clutch alça corrente Pérola 2019-02-18

258 Alça corrente Acrílica - Branca 2019-02-18

259 Alça corrente Acrílica - Preta 2019-02-18

261 Alça corrente Acrílica - Goiaba 2019-02-19

262 Alça corrente Acrílica - Vermelha 2019-02-24

263 Alça corrente Acrílica - Marrom 2019-02-26

I'd really appreciate if someone could help me to solve this issue. I don't know where I'm going wrong.
