Asia Cup 2025: Afghanistan and Hong Kong will get this year’s tournament underway in Abu Dhabi with match No. 1 on Tuesday.

Updated: September 8, 2025 5:42 PM IST

The Asia Cup 2025 will finally get underway in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday. Eight of the best teams from the sub-continent will battle for supremacy with Suryakumar Yadav’s Team India ready to defend their crown.

This year’s Asia Cup will be played in the T20 format ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in India next year. India were the original hosts of the Asia Cup 2025 as well but with Pakistan refusing to tour India for event, it was moved to the UAE.

After winning the Asia Cup 2023 in the ODI format under captain Rohit Sharma, the Indians will look to maintain their dominance in the T20 format as well since they are the defending T20 World Cup champions. But they will face stiff opposition from arch-rivals Pakistan, who are coming into this tournament after winning a tri-series against Afghanistan and UAE.

Both India and Pakistan are part of Group A along with UAE and Oman. The much-awaited India vs Pakistan is scheduled to take place on September 14 and with both teams expected to progress to the Super 4 stage as well, they can once again face each other next week as well.
