Ahead of second India and Pakistan clash in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 will happen in the Super 4s stage on September 4 in Dubai. India already has one game up on Pakistan, defeating them in the group stages in a thriller.
Ahead of the match, the famous Pakistan fan, Momin Saqib, who had gone viral with his “Maaro Mujhe Maaro" statement after the 2019 World Cup meeting between the two sides, met former India cricketer Irfan Pathan and asked him a query to which his reply won the hearts of everyone.
Saqib posted a video on his Instagram handle about his meeting with Irfan Pathan, captioning it: “Glad to meet Irfan Pathan, the best swing bowler India has ever had. Lekin Irfan Bhai, aap maanein ya na maanein, Asia Cup humara hai! @irfanpathan_official”

He then shifts to the game on Sunday in Dubai and asks: “Sunday ke baare me aapko kya lag raha he? Jo Pakistan-India ka Sunday ko match hona he.”
Irfan Pathan replies: “Repeat hi hoga.” Momin jokingly asked, “Pichle saal wala?” referring to India's loss to Pakistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup opener in Dubai.
Pathan smiles and says: “Woh ek baar hogaya yaar, baar baar nehi hoga. Abhi ladko ka bhi form aagaya.”
