India vs Pakistan Asia Cup 2023 Date Confirmed

Before taking on each other in the highly-anticipated ICC World Cup 2023, India and Pakistan are set to lock horns against each other in the forthcoming Asia Cup 2023. With the bilateral relation between the arch-rivals suspended for more than a decade now, they only play against each other in the Asia Cup and the ICC events.

As expected, the India-Pakistan games create a lot of hype among the fans and the upcoming Asia Cup clash is not an exception either. India and Pakistan will be playing against each other for the first time since the memorable clash in last year’s T20 World Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Dates confirmed for the India-Pakistan match at Asia Cup 2023:

The ACC has announced that the tournament will be played from August 31st to September 17th and is likely to announce the full schedule soon. The report further added that the first game of Asia Cup 2023 will be played in Multan between hosts Pakistan and Nepal while the final will take place in Colombo.

The tournament is being played in a hybrid model that will see the games being played not only in Pakistan but also in Sri Lanka. Overall, Asia Cup 2023 will have 13 matches. The ACC has confirmed that Pakistan will host four games while Sri Lanka will host the remaining nine games. The top two teams from each group will make it to the Super 4 before the top two teams qualify for the final.

As per the draft schedule, Pakistan will remain A1 and India A2 while Sri Lanka will be B1 and Bangladesh B2 irrespective of where they finish in the points table after the group stage.

In case Nepal and Afghanistan qualify for the Super Four stage, they will take the slot of the team knocked out (Pakistan or India in Group A and Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in Group B). In case, India and Pakistan make it to the Super Four, the clash between them will be played on September 10 in Kandy.
