India and Pakistan will kick off their respective Asia Cup 2022 campaigns with a match against each other at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium tonight. Both nations are part of Group 'A' and would look to get two crucial points from this game.
Big names like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, and Shadab Khan will be in action in the India vs Pakistan contest.
While the rivalry between these two teams is well-established, Pakistan's win over India in the T20 World Cup last year has reinvigorated it. Also, with the next T20 World Cup just a few weeks away, this match gains further importance.
