The last time India met Pakistan was at the T20 World Cup last year where a Virat Kohli special took the Men in Blue in front of a packed Melbourne crowd. For the record, there was a rain threat predicted for that day as well but the game eventually went ahead without any delays or interruptions. Fans would hope for the same to happen this time as well. The Asia Cup 2023 tournament gets underway in Pakistan on August 30 with Babar Azam and his team facing Nepal, who played a qualifier earlier to enter this competition.
