The much-awaited Asia Cup is upon us, and finally, team India will be in action after a break from international cricket for more than a month. However, the opening game of the tournament will be played between Afghanistan and Hong Kong at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. India will start their campaign against the UAE on the next day (September 10)ย in Dubai.
The marquee clash between India and Pakistan is scheduled on September 14 (Sunday) and the arch-rivals are expected to face off on September 21 as well if they make it to the Super Four round, which they are expected to with Oman and the UAE being the other two teams in their group. Having said that, the T20 format is not new to upsets, and anything can happen on the match day.
As for the other group, Hong Kong and Afghanistan have been grouped alongside Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. It is tough to predict which team will make it to the Super Four round from this group and expect the matches to go down the wire in the group stage.
