Asia Cup 2023: After months of debate and discussion between PCB and ACC, Pakistan and Sri Lanka will finally host the Asia Cup which will be organized in the hybrid model proposed by PCB from 31st August 2023. This 6-Asian teams’ tournament will be played in Pakistan and Sri Lanka and here we discuss Asia Cup 2023 Strongest Squads Prediction of All Six Teams.
The Six teams include:- the primary host nation Pakistan and secondary hosts Sri Lanka along with India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal. This will be the first time when Nepal is going to play in such a significant event with such giants of international cricket.
India, of course, is the most successful team in the tournament lifting the title 7 times and last in 2018. Then six-time champion team Sri Lanka was followed by Pakistan, winning it only twice; once in 2000 and once in 2012. It is quite strange but only three teams till now have won this title in as many as 15 editions of Asia Cup.
Down Below is the Asia Cup 2023 Strongest Squads Prediction of All Six Teams:
