Asia Cup: India to face Pakistan on September 5 - check full schedule

India, Pakistan, Thailand, and Hong Kong make up Group A, while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Indonesia and China are placed in Group B. The tournament will take place days before the Asian Games and will serve as the perfect practice for the upcoming showpiece event, in which both India and Pakistan have gained automatic entry into the quarter-finals.

The tournament opener will be played between Thailand and Hong Kong on August 28, and India will take the field for its opening match on August 30 against Thailand. It is worth mentioning that Sri Lanka is the defending champion of the Women's Asia Cup after beating India in the final.

Speaking of the Indian women's team, Cricket South Africa also revised the schedule for India’s tour of the Rainbow Nation on Thursday. The earlier announced fixtures did not include a three-match T20I series, as India and South Africa were slated to play only ODIs and the one-off Test. However, T20Is have now been added to the mix as well.
