Asia Cup 2022 began on August 27, 2022 and at the moment is in the group stage phase. Six teams are divided into groups of three as the top two from each advance to the next round- Super 4s. This will be played in a round-robin format as the top two sides from Super 4 advance to the finals on September 11, 2022.

How Can India and Pakistan Face Off in Asia Cup 2022 Super 4?

India have taken a huge step towards the super 4 with their win over Pakistan in the opening fixture. They face Hong Kong next and are the favourites to get the better of them. A win or better net run rate than the other two teams in Group A will seal India's place in the next round.

Meanwhile, after a defeat to India, Pakistan will need to beat Hong Kong in their next fixture and have a better run rate than them. This will ensure that the Men in Green advance as one of the top two teams from Group A into the Super 4s.

If India and Pakistan both manage to advance from the group stages, they are scheduled to face each other on September 4, 2022. There is a possibility that the two teams can face each other again if they advance from the Super 4s to the finals of Asia Cup 2022.
