There’s no bigger cricket match than India vs Pakistan. The rivalry hasn’t really ever been about the two best sides facing off. It’s about emotions. There’s so much at stake. What it means to beat the neighbouring nation, with whom to share history and present. Cricket fans, the general public, and even governments get involved.
Yet in all those, India and Pakistan haven’t often met in the biggest stages of tournaments. When the two teams meet in the Asia Cup final on September 28, it’ll be the first time that you won’t be able to count the encounters they’ll have had for the trophy match on hand.
