The 2023 Asia Cup (also known as Super 11 Asia Cup for sponsorship reasons)[1] was the 16th edition of the men's Asia Cup cricket tournament. The matches were played as One Day Internationals (ODIs) with Pakistan as the official host.[2][3][4][5] It was held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka, between 30 August to 17 September 2023.[6][7] It was the first Asia Cup to be held in multiple countries, with four matches played in Pakistan and the remaining nine matches played in Sri Lanka.[8][9][3] The tournament was contested by 6 teams.[10] Sri Lanka were the defending champions.[11]
The five full members of the Asian Cricket Council were part of the tournament: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. They were joined by Nepal, who qualified by winning the 2023 ACC Men's Premier Cup. For the first time, the tournament was held in a "hybrid format" with the games organised in two countries. All teams played at least a few games in Pakistan, except for India, who refused to travel to Pakistan due to disapproval from the Indian government.[12][13][14] In January 2023, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) announced the pathway structure and calendar for 2023 and 2024,[15][16] where they confirmed the dates and format of the tournament.[17] Originally, the tournament was scheduled to take place in 2021, but was postponed to 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The fixtures for the tournament were announced on 19 July 2023.[18] India defeated Sri Lanka by 10 wickets in the final to win their eighth Asia Cup title; with a record number of balls remaining (263).

Eventually, common sense prevailed as a compromise was struck with Pakistan to retain hosting duties but nine of the 13 matches will be played in Sri Lanka, including all of India's games and the final on September 17.
