India vs Pakistan: A Rivalry Renewed
The contest between India and Pakistan has always been the highlight of any cricket tournament and Asia Cup 2023 is no exception. The arch-rivals are expected to face off twice during the Continental Cup, with both matches likely to be held in Dambulla or Kandy, Sri Lanka. However, if luck permits, they could meet for a third time in the later stages of the tournament and potentially even a fourth time in the final.
Hybrid model and schedule
After much deliberation, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has agreed on the hybrid model for the Asia Cup 2023. Four matches will be played in Pakistan, while the remaining nine matches will be held in Sri Lanka. Pakistan will begin their campaign by playing against Nepal on August 31 in Multan. Lahore will also serve as the venue for the Continental Cup. Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan will play their group matches in Pakistan before traveling to Sri Lanka. On the other hand, India will directly depart for Sri Lanka.
date and format
Asia Cup 2023 is scheduled to take place from 31 August to 17 September. The tournament will feature six teams: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Nepal. All the matches will be played in One Day International (ODI) format, adding to the excitement for cricket fans across the globe. The proposed itinerary, subject to approval from the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), will see Pakistan host four matches, including their tie against India, before the teams travel to Sri Lanka.
