IND vs PAK Head-to-Head: Before the all-important Asia Cup 2022 clash, India and Pakistan have locked horns on nine occasions in T20I matches. India has an edge overall, with wins in seven matches out of these. Pakistan has won only two.
But the last time these two met was during the ICC T20 World Cup 2021, in which India suffered a humiliating ten-wicket defeat. Left-arm pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi destroyed the Indian top order with two quick strikes. Contributions from then-skipper Virat Kohli (57) and Rishabh Pant (39) took India to 151/7 in their 20 overs but knocks from Mohammed Rizwan (79 not out) and Pakistani skipper Babar Azam (68 not out) meant that Men-in-Blue succumbed to a shocking defeat. India will be looking forward to putting up a big fight this time around.
Their first meeting was in the 2007 T20 World Cup, in which India won after a bowl out. The two teams have met 14 times in the Asia Cup, and India, yet again, have a superior record of 8-5 over Babar Azam’s side.
