India and Pakistan are gearing up for yet another high-voltage clash — their fourth meeting in an Asia Cup T20 encounter. Out of 18 overall Asia Cup matches between the two nations (across formats), India hold the edge with 10 victories.
Exactly a month from now, on September 14 in Dubai, the two cricketing giants will face off again.
The rivalry has produced some unforgettable moments, such as Virat Kohli’s masterclass against Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup, but this time the stage is the Asia Cup 2025, which also serves as a final testing ground ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup.
While Pakistan lead the head-to-head record in both Tests and ODIs, India dominate the shortest format. In T20Is, India have won 9 of 13 matches, losing only three.
