India-Pakistan

India v Pakistan: Looking back at the last five matches

Let’s take a look at their five most recent encounters across all formats

‘You can tell from their eyes that they want to dominate’

India and Pakistan do not meet each other outside multi-nation tournaments and when they meet in a tournament as big as the Asia Cup, cricket fans around the world have their eyes glued to such fixtures.
