In recent years, however, India has dominated the rivalry winning the last four out of five meetings between the two sides. This includes a 3-1 thrashing of Pakistan in the 2018 SAFF Cup. India has been in good form leading up to the tournament and will be looking to continue their winning streak against their traditional rivals.
