India-Bangladesh clash to kick off Asia Cup

Besides the four major nations, Afghanistan, Oman, Hong Kong and UAE will be playing a qualifying tournament that starts on February 19. Each team will play three matches and the one that finishes on top will advance to the main event. In case two teams finish with the same points, their net run rates will be used as tiebreaker.

UAE & Oman shock Afghan & HK respectively in qualifying round. With no "final" - each win or defeat is crucial.

Mohammed Shami ruled out of Asia Cup

Hong Kong knocked out in qualifiers. UAE favourites now. Afghanistan & Oman have outside chance.

And as expected UAE have qualified as the 5th team in the main draw. Afghans must be ruing their opening game defeat.
