The high-octane clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, which was earlier scheduled to take place on July 21, will now be held on July 19. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the semi-finals, which are scheduled to take place on July 26. The final will take place on July 28.
For the first time in the history of the tournament, eight teams will feature in the upcoming edition, which is one more than the previous competition.
The previous tournament was place in Bangladesh in 2022, when India won its seventh title after defeating Sri Lanka by eight wickets in the final. The competition was scheduled to take place in 2020, but was moved to 2021 — and eventually 2022 — due to COVID-19.
Defending champions India have been placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, Nepal and the UAE. Group B features Bangladesh, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. (ANI)
