NEW DELHI: If we take the list of arch-rivals in cricket, India and Pakistan will be in the front row. However, the two teams rarely face each other in cricket due to political reasons prevailing in both countries. India and Pakistan clash only in ICC tournaments. Whenever India and Pakistan face each other on the cricket field, it gets a lot of attention from viewers across the world.
Recent reports said that India will soon face its arch-rival in a T20 match. It is learned that India will take on Pakistan in this year's Asia Cup tournament. The tournament will be held in Sri Lanka, which is reeling from a financial crisis. Apart from India and Pakistan, hosts Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will participate in the tournament.
According to sources, the tournament is expected to begin next month. The most awaited India-Pakistan match is likely to take place on August 28. The last Asia Cup was held in 2018. The Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, defeated Bangladesh in the final and won the title in that edition of the Asia Cup.
