Bangladesh to play two matches of Asia Cup in two countries

Ending all speculations, the hybrid model of Asia Cup is all set to take place on August 30 in two different countries in Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Pakistan are the original host of the tournament which will be held in traditional 50-over format this year but the political turmoil with India, forced the organizer to arrange the event in two countries.

The final of the tournament will be held in Colombo on September 17.
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan were drawn in Group B while Pakistan, India and Nepal are in the Group A. India will play all of their matches in Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh will take on Sri Lanka in their first match of the group in Kandy, Sri Lanka in August 31. They will then take on Afghanistan on September 3 at Lahore in Pakistan.

Two teams from each group will move to the next round to form Super Four phase. Top two teams based on the points from the Super Four will play the final. (BSS)
