India-Pakistan will also clash in the T20 World Cup in Australia in October-November, so this match will be a preview of the Asia Cup T20.
The Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) has reportedly received permission from the BCCI and the qualifiers for the tournament will begin on August 21. The first round will start on August 27 and the final will be held on September 11.
India are likely to face Pakistan on August 28, and it will be the first time the two teams face each other at the international stage since the T20 World Cup in UAE in 2021, in which Pakistan will avenge India’s 10-wicket thrashing of the World Cup.
It is noteworthy that India has won the Asia Cup 6 times, Sri Lanka has won it 5 times and Pakistan has won it 2 times.
The more the Indian team plays with Pakistan, Tests and ODIs, then they can easily defeat teams like England, playing with Pakistan and winning is an extra boost for the Indian players, so they should play more often.
