The much delayed schedule announcement for the 2023 Asia Cup 50-over tournament finally happened on Wednesday evening with the highly anticipated India v Pakistan clash set to take place in Kandy on September 2.
The Asia Cup 2023 schedule was officially announced on Wednesday and India are all set to face Pakistan in their Group A match at Kandy in Sri Lanka on September 2. However, that may not be the only time when the two teams come face-to-face in the competition. The top two teams from both groups will move to the Super Fours stage where all teams will play each other once. According to the release shared by Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president Jay Shah, Pakistan will be A1 and India will be A2 irrespective of their positions in the group stages. As a result, if both teams can qualify from Group A, they will face each other in the Super Fours stage on September 10 in Colombo.

In the opening match of the tournament, Pakistan will take on Nepal on August 30 in Multan., Pakistan. However, the biggest highlight of the tournament will come when India square off against Pakistan on September 2 in Kandy. The final will be played on September 17 in Colombo.
Rising batting sensation Sai Sudharsan's eminently graceful hundred beautifully complemented pacer Rajvardhan Hangargekar's five-wicket haul as India A crushed Pakistan A by eight wickets to end league stage with all-win record in the Emerging Asia Cup in Colombo on Wednesday. Batting first, Pakistan were all out for 205 in 48 overs with Hangargekar taking 5 for 42 in eight overs and then Sudharsan's unbeaten 104 off 110 balls ensured that the meagre target was surpassed in 36.4 overs.
The Asia Cup 2023 schedule was finally announced on Wednesday, by Jay Shah, BCCI secretary and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) head. This time the tournament is being played in a hybrid model, after Shah declared last year that India would not be travelling to Pakistan for the event. The tournament will begin with a match between Pakistan and Nepal in Multan, Pakistan, on August 30. The much-awaited India-Pakistan clash will take place in Kandy, Sri Lanka, on September 2. India will face Nepal in the other group stage match on September 4 at the same venue.
Manav Suthar produced an absolute ripper of a delivery to dismiss Kamran Ghulam during the ACC Emerging Asia Cup match between India A and Pakistan A in Colombo on Wednesday. Kamran was trying to play cautiously against the India A spinners but his defenses were finally breached by a delivery from Manav which both turned and bounced off the pitch. The batter tried to step out of his crease to negotiate the ball but it turned late and wicket-keeper Dhruv Jurel made no mistake in completing the stumping. Manav also dismissed Haseebullah Khan and Mohammad Haris.
