While Group B includes Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Hong Kong and Afghanistan.
Schedule of India's matches in the Asia Cup
First, the group stage matches will be played in the Asia Cup, followed by the Super-4 stage and then the final match. The Indian team will play a total of three matches in the group matches, in which the first match will be played against the UAE on September 10 in Dubai, then against Pakistan on September 14 in Dubai and then against Oman on September 19 in Abu Dhabi. In the Asia Cup, the top two teams in each group will reach the Super-4 stage, after which the final match will be played between the top two teams of the Super-4 stage.
All matches will be played in the UAE
The tournament is also being organized in the UAE because due to the tension between India and Pakistan after the Pahalgam attack, both countries have agreed to play only in other countries until 2027. Pakistan hosted the Champions Trophy in March this year, but India played all the matches in Dubai and won the championship title.
