India vs Pakistan: How India, Kohli dominated in last 5 T20I matches

When India and Pakistan face off in the Asia Cup 2022 today (August 28) in Dubai, this will be only the sixth T20I match between the arch-rivals in the last 10 years.

India and Pakistan don’t play bilateral series and it is only in the multi-team tournaments that the contests take place. Last year, it was in the T20 World Cup in Dubai and now at the same venue, they will be battling it out.

Between 2012 and 2021, India-Pakistan T20I clashes have been on five occasions, from Ahmedabad to Dubai.
