Highest Run Chase in Asia Cup: The Men’s Asia Cup is a cricket tournament run by the Asian Cricket Council every two years. It brings together the senior men’s national teams from Asia to decide the continental champion. The event started in 1983, the same year the Council was formed to promote goodwill among Asian countries. It is the only regional competition in cricket where the winner earns the title of champion of Asia.
