Who will win Asia Cup 2023? PAK or IND

The Asia Cup 2023 is an eagerly anticipated cricket tournament scheduled to take place from August 31st to September 17th.

The matches will be split between Pakistan, where four matches will be played, and Sri Lanka, where the remaining nine matches will be held.

The reason for the tournament being held in two different nations is due to the refusal of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to allow the Indian team to travel to Pakistan citing security concerns. Consequently, the Asia Cup 2023 was arranged to be played in two separate countries.

In this edition of the Asia Cup, a total of 13 One Day International (ODI) matches will be played, with teams competing in a league format. India and Pakistan have the potential to face each other twice in the league stage, and if they both reach the finals, it would be an intense competition for cricket fans.so who will win asia cup 2023?
