The 16th edition of the Asia Cup competition, which features one-day international matches, will occur this year. The planned start date for the 16th edition of the Asia Cup is September 2, 2023. Pakistan is the designated host country for the 2023 Asia Cup. Recent sources claim that Pakistan would host the 2023 Asia Cup rather than a neutral site. The Asia Cricket Council (ACC) will meet soon to decide on the venue.
Asia Cricket Council (ACC) was established in 1983 to foster cricket among Asian nations. Alternatively, a cricket tournament for ODI and T20 matches is conducted annually. India with 7 trophies is the table topper in the history of the Asia Cup.
Asia Cup 2023 Format
The ODI (50 overs) and T20I (20 overs) formats are alternatively used for the Asia Cup. The format of the Asia Cup 2023 will be a 50-over game. This format for group and knockout matches will be used for all six qualified teams. In the championship game, the top two teams from the Super 4 round will compete.
The format for the Asia Cup in 2023 will be 50 overs. There will be 13 different matches overall. The top 5 teams, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and India, have already qualified for the championship game. A total of 6 teams will be determined by the qualifying round. Each club will play the other team once during the group stage, which will be followed by the Super 4 round, in a round-robin style.
The 2023 Asia Cup cricket competition will be held in Pakistan. The UAE’s Dubai International Stadium and Sharjah Cricket Association Stadium are the most likely locations for the 2023 Asia Cup.
The UAE hosted the 15th Asia Cup from August 27 to September 11 last year. Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan to win the first T20 Asia Cup, their sixth overall.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka defeated India in the Super 4 round, preventing them from beating them and moving on to the finals. The biggest plus for India was Virat Kohli’s resurgence, who hit a century in international cricket after nearly a thousand days out.
