Asia Cup 2025, 10 days to go: The Asia Cup 2025 is all set to start from September 9, where the Men in Blue will lock horns with the United Arab Emirates during their tournament opener. The much-awaited India vs Pakistan would be held on September 14 in Dubai, where the arch-nemesis might face at least three times during the Super 4 stage and in the summit clash.

19 matches would be held during the upcoming continental tournament, and 11 of these, including the summit clash, would be played at Dubai International cricket stadium, whereas the rest of the remaining matches would be held at Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed cricket stadium.

The Asia Cup, which is being held by the Asian Cricket Council, was first started in 1983 and is held every two years to declare the continental champions.

The Asia Cup 2025 would be the 17th edition, where eight teams would be seen in action and have been divided into two groups.

The top two teams from both groups will then qualify for the Super 4 stage, where the two table toppers will then lock horns for the summit clash.

Sri Lanka has lifted the Asia Cup title six times, whereas the Men in Green have won it twice.

The continental tournament, which is being held on a rotational basis between ODIs and T20Is after 2016, would now be held in the shortest format before the 2026 T20 World Cup.

Sri Lanka had clinched the Asia Cup title when it was last held in this format way back in 2022, where they had defeated Pakistan during the summit clash.
