India to face Pakistan on August 28 as Asia Cup 2022 schedule is announced

The Asia Cup 2022 schedule is finally announced by BCCI Secretary Jay Shah on Tuesday. The much-awaited clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is scheduled for August 28. Both the teams are part of Group A.

The 15th edition of the Asia Cup is slated to take place from August 27 - September 11. The last edition of the Asia Cup took place in 2018 when India lifted the trophy for the 7th time after beating Bangladesh in the final.

The tournament will follow the T20 format for the 2nd time after the 2016 edition also followed the same format and India emerged victorious.

India and Pakistan will face each other in the T20I for the 10th time. The last time they both faced each other was in the 2021 T20 World Cup where Pakistan won by 10 wickets and broke India’s winning streak against them in the ICC World Cups.

The tournament was earlier scheduled to take place in Sri Lanka but due to the economic and political unrest in the island nation, Asia Cup 2022 is now shifted officially to the UAE.
