When is next India vs Pakistan match?

India vs Pakistan stands at the top of the list regarding marquee clashes in the game of cricket. While sponsors throng to be associated with this encounter, fans always remain invested in it. ICC also never fails to make use of the opportunity that comes with this fixture. On that note, here, we take a look at when the next India vs Pakistan match is.

Next India vs Pakistan match

Due to the political relations between the two nations, India and Pakistan are not involved in bilateral fixtures. They either play in ICC events or in the Asia Cup. The last Asia Cup happened in 2018 and it again occurred in 2022. In the 2022 edition, India and Pakistan were involved in two fixtures. There could have been one more but since India failed to qualify for the finals, that did not happen. With the Asia Cup completed, fans are now curious to know when India and Pakistan will play each other next.

It will be on October 23rd that we will have the next India vs Pakistan clash. The match will be a part of the 2022 T20 World Cup. It will happen at the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Australia. The tickets for this match were sold like hot cake. There could be the prospect of one more encounter if both squads reach the finals.

A must-win game for India

India lost the game to Pakistan in the 2022 T20 World Cup. While they won the first game in the Asia Cup, they lost to their arch-rivals in the Super Four fixture. Therefore, it can be said that India is slightly behind Pakistan in recent months.

Hence, the men in blue will be keen for a victory in Australia. While it will help them in the Indo-Pak battle, for their fortunes in T20 World Cup, too, a win against Pakistan is a must. It needs to be seen if they would thrive under pressure in the upcoming game.
