It will be the first time that the countries will face each other in the UAE since 2006.

(Web Desk) - Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is set to visit Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, will watch the much-awaited India-Pakistan Asia Cup clash in Dubai on Wednesday.

The former cricketer who led the Pakistan team to its World Cup victory in 1992 will be watching the game from the stands.

The game is the first between the sub-continent rivals since Pakistan thumped India by 180 runs in the final of the Champions Trophy at The Oval in June last year.

It will be the first time that the countries will face each other in the UAE since 2006.

Millions of fans across the border and elsewhere in the world will be watching the Group A clash, with a sold-out 25,000-crowd expected at Dubai Stadium.
