The title tally also favours India, who have lifted the trophy eight times compared to Pakistan’s two.The rivalry has produced memorable contests. From India’s inaugural 54-run win in 1984 to the record 228-run thrashing in 2023, each meeting has carried high stakes. Pakistan’s biggest Asia Cup win came in 1995 by 97 runs, while their most recent triumph was a five-wicket T20I win in 2022.(*T20I matches)The only edition India skipped was in 1986, when political and security concerns over Sri Lanka’s civil war led the Indian government to pull the team out.Pakistan, meanwhile, missed the 1990–91 tournament due to strained diplomatic relations with India.This year’s Asia Cup, to be held in the UAE from September 9–28, will follow the T20I format and feature eight teams. India are drawn in Group A alongside Pakistan, UAE, and Oman, while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong make up Group B. Though India are the designated hosts, Indo-Pak fixtures will continue to be staged at neutral venues under an arrangement between the BCCI and PCB.With India’s ICC record casting a long shadow — and a 10–6 Asia Cup edge already established — the September clash will be more than just a group-stage match: it will be another chapter in cricket’s most-watched rivalry.
