Asia Cup Winners List from 1984 to 2025

The 17th edition of the Asia Cup is set to begin on September 9 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with the final scheduled for September 28. Afghanistan will face Hong Kong in the tournament opener in Abu Dhabi.

For the first time in history, the Asia Cup will feature eight teams. Group A comprises India, Pakistan, UAE, and Oman, while Group B includes Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Hong Kong, and Bangladesh. The 2025 edition will be played in the T20 format, serving as preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka.

The Asia Cup was first held in the ODI format 1984 in the UAE, with the Men in Blue defeating Sri Lanka in the final to become the inaugural champions. The second edition in 1986 saw the Lankan Lions lift the trophy, beating Pakistan in the final. Since then, the tournament has grown into one of the premier events in Asian cricket.

In the most recent edition in 2023, again played in the 50-over format, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian side thrashed Sri Lanka, bundling them out for just 50 runs to claim their record-extending eighth Asia Cup title. The island nation has won the tournament six times, while the Men in Green have won it twice. Bangladesh, despite reaching the finals on three occasions, has yet to lift the trophy, making them one of the unluckiest teams in Asia Cup history.
