Sri Lanka will host the Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates in 2022.
There will be 13 matches overall in the tournament. India is the current event champion after defeating Bangladesh in the championship match in 2018.
Six teams competed in the group stage for a position in the Super 4: India, Pakistan, Hong Kong (Group A), Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan (Group).

The event will be held in two locations in the Gulf nation: the Dubai International Cricket Stadium and the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.
For a while now, Naseem Shah and Urvashi Rautela have been highlighted in the media. Everything started when Urvashi Rautela shared a reel of two different videos of herself and Naseem smiling with a Bollywood song playing in the background on Instagram.
When asked about it after the video gained popularity, Naseem Shah responded that he didn’t know who Urvashi Rautela was and that his focus was entirely on the game. I frequently receive videos from people, but I have no idea who Urvashi Rautela is. Naseem Shah advised me to focus on improving my game. I am not particularly noteworthy, but I respect and appreciate those who come to watch me play cricket.
After his statement Urvashi also gave the statement on her insta story and said that the whole incident was a misunderstanding. However, she also unfollowed Naseem Shah on Instagram account.

Dilshan Madushanka then bowled a disappointing opening over in which he conceded 9 extras.With the help of Pramod Madushan, Sri Lanka began to fight back and took two significant wickets during the Powerplay to get rid of Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman. However, Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed soon formed a strong alliance. In order to get rid of Iftikhar, Pramod came back, ending the alliance. Rizwan had already turned fifty, although he moved slowly.
