India have the upper hand against Pakistan with seven wins in 13 Asia Cup (ODI) matches. Pakistan have also lost four of the last five matches against India in the Asia Cup, with their last win coming in Mirpur in 2014. India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Ishan Kishan (wk), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah.
