The tournament is set to begin on August 30, with Pakistan facing Nepal in the opening match.

Participating teams are divided into Group A (Pakistan, India, and Nepal) and Group B (Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan).

The Asia Cup serves as a vital preparation run for the ODI World Cup, except for Nepal.

The schedule has undergone revisions to accommodate the hybrid model approved by the ACC.

Multan has been added as a venue alongside Lahore, providing cricket fans with more opportunities to enjoy the matches.
