The 2023 edition of the Asia Cup will be played in a hybrid model in Sri Lanka and Pakistan from August 30 to September 17. Pakistan were in fact the original hosts of the competition. However, the itinerary had to be reworked after the BCCI made it clear that India would not travel to Pakistan for the tournament.
A total of six teams will feature in Asia Cup 2023 and have been divided into two groups of three each. India, Pakistan, and Nepal are in Group A, while Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka are in Group B. The tournament will kick off with a Group A clash between Pakistan and Nepal in Multan.
Following the conclusion of the group stage, the top two teams from each group will progress to the Super Fours, which will be followed by the final at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. While the 2022 edition of the Asia Cup was played in the T20 format, this year’s competition will be held in the ODI format.
