The Super 12 stage will begin on 22nd October and it’ll see some enthralling contests in India vs Pakistan and Australia vs England. With the tournament already off the rollicking start, there are many speculations about who will be the four teams that will qualify for the semi-final.
Wasim Akram "India can’t dictate how Pakistan will play cricket. People need to speak to each other. Jay Shah should have convened a meeting where other boards could have shared their views. After all the ACC itself has awarded Pakistan the rights of the Asia Cup" #AsiaCup2023
