Dubai International Stadium hosted the blockbuster encounter between India and Pakistan in Asia Cup 2022 Sunday.
Both Pakistan and India played their last game against each other at this very ground only in the T20 World Cup last year. Pakistan easily won that match by 10 wickets, and this match is a great chance for the Indian team to take revenge. The stadium is expected to be jam-packed for the game.
