The Asia Cup has begun in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where Pakistan will play its first match against Oman today. Historically, India has won the Asia Cup 8 times, Sri Lanka 6 times, and Pakistan 2 times.
Interestingly, there was an instance when Pakistan didn’t participate in the tournament. The 3rd Asia Cup, held in India from December 25, 1990, to January 4, 1991, saw Pakistan’s absence due to strained relations with India. India eventually won that tournament.
Additionally, the 1993 Asia Cup was canceled due to tense relations between India and Pakistan.India and Pakistan have faced each other in 19 matches in Asia Cup tournaments. Out of these 19 games, India have won 10 whereas Pakistan have come out victorious on 6 occasions. 3 matches ended without a result.
