Never collided in the final!
The teams of India and Pakistan are arch-rivals in the cricket world, but surprisingly, both teams never came face to face in the finals in the history of Asia Cup.

This time both teams are considered to be a strong contender for the final. Fans are eagerly waiting for this historic moment!
India dominated the final
In the 16 editions of the Asia Cup, India made it to the finals 10 times and won the title 8 times (1984, 1988, 1990-91, 1995, 2010, 2016, 2018, 2023). Interestingly, there have been a total of 9 finals in the Asia Cup between India and Sri Lanka. India gave a tough fight to Sri Lanka several times and won most of the occasions.
Pakistan’s journey in the final
Pakistan’s team stepped 6 times in the final of the Asia Cup, but won the title only 2 times (2000 and 2012). Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka in 2000, while in 2012 defeated Bangladesh and won the trophy. Will Pakistan be able to increase its winning figure this time? It will be interesting to see.
1993 tournament was canceled
The tension between India and Pakistan has also affected cricket. The Asia Cup in Pakistan in 1993 was canceled due to tension in India-Pak relations. This was a big shock for cricket fans, as the two teams were waiting for the clash in this tournament.
Pakistan took the edge in 1991
Pakistan did not participate in the Asia Cup in 1991 hosted in India. The reason for this was also stressful relationship between the two countries. Because of this, the fans could not enjoy the Indo-Pak match that year.

The India-Pakistan match to be held in UAE on 14 September is no less than a festival for fans. Both teams will take on the field this time with full force. Will India continue its victory this time, or Pakistan will win? It will be exciting to see this!
