Asia Cup 2025 is finally here. The United Arab Emirates will host the T20 cricket tournament between September 9 and September 28, 2025. It brings together the best teams in Asia, and fans are looking forward to seeing new faces, new captains, and some surprising squad changes. In more than 60 countries, fans can watch the Asia Cup T20 live online on YuppTV. All matches will be played in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Due to the absence of some legends, this year’s Asia Cup is a unique event. After winning the T20 World Cup 2024, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirements from T20 cricket. Pakistan will also miss big names like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, as the team is now led by Salman Ali Agha. After recovering from injury, star spinner Wanindu Hasaranga is back in the Sri Lankan squad.
Eight teams are divided into two groups. Group A includes India, Pakistan, Oman, and the UAE, while Group B includes Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong. The top two teams from each group will move on to the Super Four stage, and the two best from that stage will meet in the final on September 28.
