The highly anticipated Asia Cup 2023 tournament is just two weeks away, scheduled to kick off on August 30 with an exciting clash between Pakistan and Nepal in Multan. While Pakistan will host 4 games, Sri Lanka will host the rest of the tournament, including India’s games and the final match as well. Pakistan will play group-stage stage games and one Super Four game.
Asia Cup 2023 is anticipated to entertain fans around the world as it brings together six prominent cricketing nations — India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Afghanistan — to compete against each other in a One-Day format.
Beyond the thrill and excitement of the multi-nation competition, this tournament holds added significance as it will play a major role in preparation for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023, which will be hosted in India from October 5th onwards.
All the teams will kickstart the tournament by being grouped into two sets of three teams. From these groups, the top two teams will advance to the intense Super Fours stage, where each qualified will play three crucial games.
