No fewer than 18 out of 19 Asia Cup 2025 Matches were pushed back after half an hour to prevent the heat in the VAE. The collision between hosts United Arab Emirates and Oman on 15 September in the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi is the only one who starts at the original time.
The cricket boards had asked to bring the matches back by being moved back a little to help the players prevent them from playing under the burning sun. The proposal was submitted to the broadcasters, which ultimately agreed. This means that all day evening matches start at 8 p.m. (IST).
For the unexpected, the temperatures during the day are expected to hit the 40 ° C marking and stay away until late in the evening.
The Eight Team Tournament starts on September 9, with Afghanistan taking on Hong Kong. In the meantime, the upcoming edition is only the third time that the Asia Cup has been played in a 20-over format. The previous such authorities came back in 2016 (Bangladesh) and 2022 (VAE).
Coming to the long-awaited 2025 edition, the eight teams are divided into two groups. India, Pakistan, Oman and De Vae are placed in a group for a while Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Hong Kong are in group B.
Almost all participating teams that harden India come to the Asia cup after a large T20i diet. India was involved in a five -match against England under the new test skipper Shubman Gill. Gill, who came forward as the player of the series after an excellent run with the bat (754 runs in 10 innings), has moved Axar Patel as the T20i vice-captain and will perform in the coming tournament.
As far as the other teams are concerned, the VAE, Pakistan and Afghanistan are currently involved in a triangular series in preparation for the subcontinental tournament, while Sri Lanka is currently in Zimbabwe to play two ODIs and three T20Is.
