Things did not go down well the last time India faced Pakistan, which was at the T20 World Cup 2021, at the very same venue. India had batted first and Shaheen Afridi had rattled the top order with quick wickets of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul. Kohli led a fightback with a half-century but it was not enough for India to put up a strong total on the board. Later, Pakistan saw their skipper Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan take apart the Indian bowling attack and win the game by 10 wickets. While that match is something that every Indian fan would like to forget, the Men in Blue would surely hope to avenge that painful loss. Under new skipper Rohit Sharma, India have prepared hard and would hope for a winning start to their Asia Cup title defense.

Pakistan on the other hand, will be supremely confident of their chances in this game. They would miss Shaheen Afridi, who was one of the star performers the last time they played India but would back their attack, the likes of which include Haris Rauf, Shadab Khan and also Hassan Ali to deliver the goods. A lot of focus would also be on their skipper Babar Azam, who has been one of the best batters in the world in recent times.
