The United Arab Emirates is all ready to host the seventeenth edition of the Asia Cup. Basically, the Asia Cup 2025 will commence on the 9th of September and will go on till the 28th of September. At the end, the Asia Cup 2025 Points Table will decide the teams that will feature in the knock-outs.
India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Oman, Hong Kong, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates will be the eight teams playing in the Asia Cup 2025. We will see a total of nineteen matches in the tournament, which will also include the Super-fours matches and the final. This will be a T20 format tournament.
Surely, India will be the team that will defend their Asia Cup title as they won it the last time. The final was surely not great if you are a Sri Lankan fan, as Mohammed Siraj was just unplayable. This was India’s 8th Asia Cup title since the start of the competition. They are the team to watch out for in this edition, too, with a lot of new faces playing.
