Asia Cup 2022 How Many Overs? Will It Be Played In The T20I Or ODI Format

Asia Cup 2022 will start on August 27th with the game between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. There have been multiple questions as to how many overs in each game of the upcoming Asia Cup 2022. We talk more about it in the below sections.

Here is the reason why Asia Cup 2022 is played in the T20I format

In 2015, the Asian Cricket Council decided that the competition would be alternated between the ODI and the T20I format every edition. Essentially, it means that a format in the Asia Cup would repeat once every four years. In 2016, the competition was held in the T20I format. Two years later, in 2018, the event was in the 50-over format. As part of the rotation, the upcoming event will be in the 20-over format. This tournament was supposed to be held in 2020 but due to the COVID pandemic, it has been pushed to this year.

Earlier, Sri Lanka was identified as the host of this year’s competition. However, owing to the economic crisis in the country, the tournament was moved to the UAE. The finals of Asia Cup 2022 will happen on September 11th.

While it would help them decide on the perfect squad, the momentum attained here can be carried all the way to the T20 World Cup.
