The last time when the Asia Cup tournament took place in the Gulf nation, Sri Lanka and Pakistan made it to the finals of the competition. Team India failed to bring the best out of themselves in the Asia Cup tournament held in Dubai last year.

They were knocked out of the tournament after their defeats against Pakistan and Sri Lanka respectively. Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan in the final showdown to win their sixth Asia Cup title.
