India boasts of an undefeated record against Pakistan in T20I in the tournament, winning the only match that was played between the two countries in that particular format. Pakistan, however, has managed to accumulate five wins against India in the ODI format in the tournament.
The two nations first went toe-to-toe against each other in the first edition of the Asia Cup in 1984 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah, UAE, with India emerging triumphant.
