The much-awaited India vs Pakistan clash is a day later at the Dubai International Stadium. India will play the qualifying team on August 31 while Pakistan face the same on September 2. The Asia Cup was originally scheduled to take place in 2022 but had to be postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Sri Lanka was due to host the rescheduled tournament but with the economic and political crisis going in the island country, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) shifted the six-team competition to the United Arab Emirates.
However, Sri Lanka Cricket remains as the host of the tournament. Started in 1984, the Asia Cup used to be played in ODI format until 2016 when the tournament was played for the first time in the shortest format of the game – as a preparation for the T20 World Cup a month after.
The Asia Cup 2022 will be the second time the competition will be played in T20 format – once again seen a pre-cursor to the T20 World Cup in Australia later in the year. 바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트
