The biggest rivalry of the cricketing world is set to resume as India take on Pakistan on August 28 in their inaugural match of Asia Cup 2022. Rohit Sharma will aim to lift his second Asia Cup trophy as captain. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/this-game-also-helps-in-giving-lessons-about-humanity-saqlain-mushtaq-on-viral-picture-of-babar-azam-virat-kohli-interacting-with-each-other/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Babar Azam</a> is yet to lift a major trophy as captain but has been smelling for his first for sometime.

The Men in Green will have the psychological advantage after their 10-wicket win over India in their last meeting, which came in the T20 World Cup 2921. Based on their performance, Pakistan were one of the favourites to win the tournament but lost to Australia in the semifinals. India, on the other hand, were shown the door right after the group stage.

On that note, here is a look at three of the best India versus Pakistan matches in Asia Cup history:

A last-over finish is always special as there is drama, suspense and most importantly, raw emotions. One such night transpired in Dhaka when India challenged Pakistan in the sixth match of the 2014 Asia Cup.

Batting first, the Virat Kohli-led side posted 245 runs in their 50 overs. Ambati Rayudu was the leading scorer for team India with 58 runs, while Rohit Sharma (56) and Ravindra Jadeja (unbeaten 52) also scored half-centuries in the first innings. Saeed Ajmal, regarded as one of the best spinners of all time, picked up three wickets to slow down India’s progress in the middle overs.

Even though it was just 246 to chase, Pakistan found things difficult as Ravichandran Ashwin and Amit Mishra kept them under pressure. Mohammad Hafeez kept fighting and scored 75 runs from 117 deliveries and when India were on the verge of winning, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/its-in-his-own-hands-shahid-afridi-answers-a-fans-question-when-asked-about-virat-kohlis-future/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shahid Afridi</a> stood tall and changed the complexion of the game as he scored an unbeaten 34 off just 18 balls and won the match for the Men in Green with just two balls and one wicket remaining.

It was another late drama at Dambulla when the two teams played in the 2010 edition, but this match will always be remembered for the heated argument between Harbhajan Singh and Shoaib Akhtar. Batting first, Pakistan posted a decent total of 267 runs after 49.3 overs. Salman Butt led the attack with 74 runs to his name while Kamran Akmal, towards the end, scored a quick 51 off 41 deliveries. Praveen Kumar was India’s best performer as he picked three wickets while Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh picked two each.

India lost Virender Sehwag and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/virat-kohli-plays-glenn-maxwell-like-reverse-sweep-in-nets-catches-teammates-by-surprise/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> under 100 runs in their chase but Gautam Gambhir and MS Dhoni took control of the ship with a 98-run third-wicket partnership. The southpaw scored 83 off 97 while Dhoni scored 56 off 71 deliveries.

It was because of the slow start that India couldn’t capitalise early and the match almost went out of their hands. Shahid Afridi and Abdul Razzaq kept India under enormous pressure in the middle overs, but just when the match was getting out of hand, Shoaib Akhtar’s comments ignited fire in Harbhajan Singh and he hit two sixesto seal the match with just one ball left.

The high-scoring affair at Dhaka will always be considered as one of the most memorable matches played between the arch-rivals. Unlike the above two games, this was not a last-over special but one where a young player made a statement.

Batting first, Pakistan put up 329 runs on the board after 50 overs. The opening pair of Mohammad Hafeez (105) and Nasir Jamshed (112) put up 224 runs for the opening partnership, while Younis Khan scored 52 to help Pakistan to post a massive total.

However, Virat Kohli registered his highest international score in white-ball cricket, scoring 183 runs to counter Pakistan’s massive total. Sachin Tendulkar scored 52 while Rohit Sharma scored 68 to cement a memorable win for India against Pakistan. Kohli won the Player of the Match award for his brilliant performance against a quality bowling line-up.
