The four teams in the super four stages will each play three games in a round-robin format. The top two teams will move on to the final, which is set to be held on September 11.

The teams have started training for their upcoming big games

The last time the tournament was held, in 2018, it was an ODI, and India won the title by beating Bangladesh in the finals. This year, a total of 13 games will be played in the tournament, which will help the selectors try out different teams for the T20 World Cup in Australia in 2022. At first, the tournament was going to be held in Sri Lanka. However, because of the country’s poor economy, the Asia Cup 2022 was moved to UAE.

The teams have started training for their upcoming big games, and recently, the India and Pakistan players were seen talking with each other before their match.
