3 matches between India and Pakistan possible
Talking about the Asia Cup, apart from 14 September, two more matches can be held between India and Pakistan. Apart from the league match, the Indian and Pakistani teams can also clash in the Super 4. Not only this, if both reach the final, then there too a clash between the two can be seen.
Close competition between India and Pakistan
A total of 3 clashes have taken place between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup T20 format, out of which India has won two matches and Pakistan has won one match. Not only this, in the ODI format of this tournament, Pakistan has won 8 matches and India has won 7. But in the current circumstances, Pakistan's team looks weak in front of India. This team does not have the experience of Babar and Rizwan. On the other hand, the Indian team is equipped with many great players.
