LAHORE, Sep 17 (APP):Pakistan’s coming match against India in the Asia Cricket Cup on Sept 19 is an opportunity for green shirts to establish an edge over arch-rivals as both the sides have won five
matches apiece in the history of the Cup.

Cup in the past and having won five encounter each with one game
failing to produce a result. Pakistan won Asia Cup title twice in
2000 and 2012 compared to India’s five title victories in 1984, 1988,
1990, 1995, 2010 and 2016.
In the given circumstances, the match is of greater significance for Pak team to restore supremacy over India in Cup’s history. As far as
the statistics are concerned, the greens shirts, undoubtedly, is a far superior side to India in the one day international matches history.
Both Pakistan and India played altogether 129 matches with green shirts winning 73, losing 52 with four matches remained result less.
