We already have had two India and Pakistan contests in the Asia Cup 2022 tournament and expectedly, both have fascinating contests. And justifiably so, fans cannot get enough of these two teams and would ideally want them to face off in the final of the continental tournament. At the moment, both teams have one match each against each other in this tournament. While India defeated Pakistan to kickstart their Asia Cup 2022 campaign, the Green Shirts got some measure of redemption as they beat Rohit Sharma's side in a high-scoring Super 4 contest.

Asia Cup 2022 has provided fans the opportunity to witness multiple India vs Pakistan contests. Both these sides have not played bilateral cricket for quite some time now and it is only in tournaments like these that we get to see them in action against each other. A third potential India vs Pakistan match can still happen in the Asia Cup 2022 and that too in the final.
How Can India and Pakistan Face Off in Asia Cup 2022 Final?
India did not have a great start to their Super 4 campaign as they lost to Pakistan by five wickets in a thrilling clash. With this defeat, they are now backed in one corner and need to win their remaining two games against Sri Lanka and Afghanistan respectively, to have any hope of securing a spot in the Asia Cup 2022 final. However, that is tough as both these teams have performed well in the tournament.
Pakistan on the other hand, would be mighty confident of making it to the final after beating defending champions India last Sunday. They too have two matches against the same opponents remaining. Ideally, Pakistan would aim to win both these games to cement a spot in the final, one victory might turn out to be enough for them, given the results of the other games are in their favour.
