NEW DELHI: The wait is finally over as the Asia Cup gets underway on Tuesday, with the opening clash between Afghanistan and Hong Kong in Abu Dhabi. The tournament, running until September 28, features eight teams divided into two groups.
Group A features India, Pakistan, UAE, and Oman, while Group B includes Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong.
India will open their campaign against the UAE on September 10 in Dubai, before locking horns with arch-rivals Pakistan in a much-anticipated clash on September 14 at the same venue. Their final group-stage fixture is set for September 19 in Abu Dhabi, where they will face Oman.
The tournament will be played in the T20I format and will serve as key preparation for the teams ahead of next year's T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka.
