Cricket fans anticipate jaw-dropping, eye-popping moments as Pakistan and India have engaged in some thrilling matches that have drawn attention from all across the world during the Asia Cup.
Dubai: Reigniting the long-standing rivalry, Pakistan will lock horns with India in the second match of the Asia Cup 2022 tournament in Dubai Cricket Stadium on Sunday (August 28).
Both teams are part of the same group, hence, it is tempting to think that the cricket rivalry between India and Pakistan is passé, a thing of the past century.
The two sides might encounter each other multiple times in the 2022 edition of the Asia Cup tournament because of the placement in the same group and the format of the tournament.
Pak-Indo cricket match always remains momentous among cricket fans that's why thousands of people are expecting a fierce match.
Last time the teams met at the World T20 in October 2021 where the national team trashed India by ten wickets.
It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan will be without fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi, who has been ruled out of the tournament, owing to a knee injury.
Ahead of Asia Cup 2022, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) released videos from the venue of players from the two countries greeting each other with warmth and enquiring after one another's families.
