India vs Pakistan: All The Matches Between Arch-Rivals In Asia Cup So Far

Asia Cup 2022 is all set to kick off on August 28 in the United Arab Emirates. The continental event will once again see arch-rivals India and Pakistan battle it out against each other. Given that the sides play head-to-head matches only in multi-team tournaments since January 2013, their face-off has become much more valuable in the past decade. While the sides first face each other on August 28 in the upcoming Asia Cup, chances are high that they will square off again in the later part of the tournament, not once but twice.

Before the T20I action between the sides kicks off in Dubai International Cricket Stadium, let's recollect all the India vs Pakistan encounters that have taken place in Asia Cup so far.

1984: India beat Pakistan by 54 runs in inaugural Asia Cup

The low-scoring thriller at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium saw India defend a total of 188 for 4 against Pakistan in the inaugural edition of Asia Cup. While Surinder Khanna's 56-run knock took India to a fighting total in 46 overs, Ravi Shastri and Roger Binny's bowling helped the side win the match. Shastri returned 3 for 40, while Binny took 3 for 33. It is worth noting that four of the Pakistan batters lost their wickets to run-out and that played a crucial role in their loss to India.

1988: India's second consecutive Asia Cup win over Pakistan

The match in Dhaka saw India win the game by 4 wickets. Bowling first, the side bundled out Pakistan for 142 runs, courtesy Arshad Ayub's 5 for 21. Meanwhile, Kapil Dev and Maninder Singh claimed two wickets apiece.

In the chase, India also lost wickets at regular intervals but Mohinder Amarnath's unbeaten 74 kept them going. The side eventually won the game in 40.4 overs with four wickets in hand.
