Asia Cup 2022 will be played in Dubai and Sharjah between August 27 and September 11. India are in Group A along with Pakistan and the third team will be a qualifier. Sri Lanka, Bangaldadesh and Afghanistan are in Group B

India and Pakistan will face each other in the A Group opener in Dubai on August 28. There is a high chance that the two countries will be up against each other in the Super 4 stage.

This will be the second time UAE will host the Asia Cup in the last five years. In 2018, the tournament, played in the ODI format, was conducted in Dubai and Abu Dhabi between September 15-28.

India, led by Rohit Sharma, will now be keen to hit back hard and assert their dominance versus their neighbours after a humiliating 10-wicket loss in the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Dubai.

Later this year, India and Pakistan are set to face each other on October 23 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Over the years, the two teams have produced some high-octane clashes at the world stage, with India holding an edge. But Babar Azam’s Pakistan bounced back brilliantly in the last edition of the tournament, as they produced a near-perfect performance in Dubai to clinch their first-ever victory against India in a World Cup.
