The Asia Cup cricket tournament can be played in either 20 overs or 50 overs per side, depending on the format. The Asia Cup 2025, which will be held in the United Arab Emirates, is scheduled to follow the Twenty20 International (T20I) format, meaning each match will have 20 overs per innings for each team. Previously, the Asia Cup followed the One-Day International (ODI) format with 50 overs per innings, but since 2016 it has been held in either of these two formats on a rotational basis to align with the upcoming ICC global events. Therefore, the Asia Cup 2025 matches will each have 20 overs per side.
