Many reports suggest that the Asia Cup 2023 prize money will be bigger than previous tournaments. Check out other details about the event and see everything you need to know about this exciting cricket spectacle.

Where Was the Last Asia Cup Hosted; Which Country Won It?

Asia Cup 2022 was hosted in the United Arab Emirates. Sri Lanka won the Asia Cup 2023, stretching their number of titles to six, just one behind championship log leaders India. Ironically, only Sri Lanka and India have ever managed back-to-back winning streaks at the Asia Cup.

Other countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh have not managed to assert their dominance in regional cricket, especially at this event.

How Many Teams are Taking Part in the Asia Cup 2023?

Six (6) top teams from all around Asia will face off at this year’s tournament. The qualifying teams are Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Nepal. Many of these teams have long-running rivalries, so we’ll expect nothing less than the most exciting cricket at this event yet.

India’s rivalry against Pakistan might be the highlight among participating teams. However, recent resurging form from teams like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh may see them nip both perennial rivals to the Asia Cup 2023. Afghanistan and Nepal are the outsiders on paper; however, these teams have a reputation of springing surprises against established teams.

How Many Schedules Have Been Released for the Asia Cup 2023?

Disagreements between the cricket boards of Pakistan and India have affected the smooth scheduling of at least two tournaments this year. The tournaments – Asia Cup 2023 and ODI World Cup 2023 – have seen controversy over India and Pakistan’s political rivalry come to light.

At least two different schedules have been released for the Asia Cup 2023. The first schedule, released early in 2023, was scheduled for Asia Cup games to start on September 2nd with matches slated for grounds in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the UAE.

However, the BCCI did not agree to play according to this schedule, putting the whole arrangement in jeopardy. A new model had to be drawn up before India agreed to take part in Asia Cup 2023. The new model required matches to take place in Sri Lanka and Pakistan, meaning a fresh schedule became necessary.

Where Will the Asia Cup 2023 Take Place?

The Asia Cup 2023 will happen in Pakistan and Sri Lanka based on an agreed ‘hybrid model’. This model will see four matches played in the host country Pakistan with the other nine games scheduled to happen in Sri Lanka.
