Who Will Win Asia Cup in 2023?
The 16th Asia Cup will kick off on August 3 and end on September 17 with the final game. The 2023 Asia Cup will be hosted under a hybrid format for the first time by two nations, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Nepal (for the first time) will compete in the Asia Cup in 2023. The event will be divided into two groups of three teams each this year. The top two teams will advance to the Super Four round. Following that, the final will take place on September 17th.
Unlike last year, the competition will be played in a 50-over format, allowing nations to prepare for the next One-Day International World Cup in October-November. The ACC has announced the Asia Cup dates and location. The tournament will consist of 13 games, the first four of which will be played in Pakistan and the remaining nine in Sri Lanka.
