The Asian Cricket Council has officially confirmed that the 2025 Men’s T20 Asia Cup will be held in the United Arab Emirates from September 9 to 28. This year’s tournament will see eight teams in action, making it the biggest edition yet.
In a major talking point, arch-rivals India and Pakistan have been placed in the same group. The two teams are set to clash on September 14, a match that is already being billed as one of the biggest fixtures of the year. India will begin their campaign on September 10 against UAE, followed by games against Pakistan and Oman.
