India vs Pakistan clash is a feast of eyes for not only the cricket fans but the whole world. However, due to diplomatic issues between the two nations, India and Pakistan have not faced each other often in recent years of cricket. The good news is that during the Asia Cup 2022, the blockbuster clash can take place 3 times in over 14 days of period. The opening clash takes place on August 28 when the two sides will meet in Dubai.

The second match can take place if both teams qualify for the Super Four Stage, which is likely to happen. The Super Four Stage is a round-robin format where group leaders will face each other. The two nations will also meet each other in the T20 World Cup later this year in Australia. And if things go in way of the fans expectation, India and Pakistan will face each twice in the World Cup as well. (Asia Cup 2022: Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of India squad due to THIS reason)

The last time India locked horns with Pakistan was in the T20 World Cup 2021 in UAE. The Babar Azam-led side demolished Virat Kohli-led India in the World Cup, winning the match by a statement-making margin of 10 wickets.

Pakistan is in good T20 form, having done well in many series back home. They are a rising team in the shortest format of the game and will take on India, who are World No 1 currently. The Asia Cup 2022 will be broadcast on Star Sports Network and Hotstar in India.
