Asia Cup 2023 is all set to kick off on 30th August 2023 with a match between Pakistan and Nepal. A total of six teams, including India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Nepal, are going to feature in this year’s ODI format Asia Cup. Due to the political differences, the tournament is not going to take place entirely in Pakistan despite the hosting rights belonging to the PCB. It has been decided that Pakistan will play its matches in Pakistan except for the match against India. All the other matches involving the rest of the teams will be held at various stadiums in Sri Lanka.
The excitement for the tournament is building up, and everyone is looking forward to witnessing the rivalry between India and Pakistan. There is a chance of India clashing against Pakistan in three different moments if a few combinations align for the rivals. Recently, the Sri Lankan Board announced that the tickets for Asia Cup 2023 match between India and Pakistan are being sold at the starting price of Rs 2500.
