 
                India and Pakistan will compete against one another in an Asia Cup match that rarely passes without producing something bigger than cricket.
This match-up is of vital importance for both teams; India have become defending champions under Suryakumar Yadav while Pakistan are still trying to find themselves and define their identity.
Pakistan
As India and Pakistan prepare to face off in one of this year’s Asia Cup’s most anticipated matches, millions are eagerly awaiting what promises to be an epic battle between bat and ball on an arena that never ceases to deliver drama, emotion and history.
Both teams head into this clash full of confidence following impressive victories against their associate opponents in Dubai. India have looked relentless under captain Suryakumar Yadav while Pakistan have strived hard to build an identity under Salman Agha.
Pakistan had an unfortunate start, as opener Saim Ayub fell victim to Jasprit Bumrah’s first ball of their innings and succumbed to total batting collapse and were reduced to 127 for 9 in 20 overs despite Shaheen Afridi’s spectacular cameo of two sixes and four maximums that helped bring some respite for them.
India’s spinners will likely be key weapons in this match against Pakistan, who have found them difficult to tame against in UAE conditions. Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma must remain wary against Pakistan part-time spinner Naveed Afridi who has an excellent record against them in T20Is.
