The prestigious competition, which will be co-hosted by Pakistan and Sri Lanka, is due to start on August 30. The Asia Cup 2023 is just around the horizon. The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) was reluctant to permit Team India to visit Pakistan, thus it was ultimately decided that the two countries would co-host the tournament.
Due to the ODI World Cup 2023, which will start on October 5 and is swiftly approaching, the competition will be played in ODI format in 2023. Pakistan and Nepal will face off in the opening match of the Asia Cup 2023 on August 30 in Kandy, Sri Lanka, as both teams compete for their first points
Six teams will participate in the competition, which will be split into two groups of three (Groups A and B). The top two teams from each of the two groups will advance to the Super Four stage, which will consist of another round-robin series of games with the top two teams meeting in the championship game. On September 17, the championship game will take place in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka.
The 2023 Asia Cup group stage will take place from August 30 to September 5. Three of the 13 overall contests will take place in Pakistan, with the remaining contests being held in Sri Lanka.
