Significantly, the Sri Lankan team was the champion of the Asia Cup last year. Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan in the final match. In the year 2022, the Asia Cup was played in the UAE. At the same time, Team India’s performance in the last Asia Cup was very disappointing, Team India could not even make it to the Super-4 round. For which the anger of the fans was also seen.
The cricket teams of India and Pakistan were face to face in 2 big tournaments last year, Asia Cup and T20 World Cup. The Asia Cup clashed twice. In which once Team India won and once Pakistan. Then when Pakistan came to the fore in the T20 World Cup, due to the bravery of Virat, India hoisted the flag of victory.
