The battle for continental supremacy has started to shape up once again as Asia Cup is being played after a gap of four years. The last Asia Cup took place in 2018 in the United Arab Emirates and it was a 50-over affair. Now, it has moved into the 20-over format and it is the second edition of the Aisa Cup in that format. The first ever T20 Asia Cup took place in 2016 in Bangladesh where India defeated Bangladesh in the final.

Now, with the T20 World Cup just a few months away, all the six teams (if UAE qualifies for the main tournament Asia Cup) will be taking this tournament as their best practice for the biggest tournament. Thus for UAE, qualifying for the main tournament is very important.
