Lowest Score in Asia Cup History: The Men’s Asia Cup is a cricket tournament held every two years and organized by the Asian Cricket Council. It brings together the top men’s national teams from Asia to decide the champion of the continent. The tournament started in 1983 to promote friendship between Asian countries. Since 2009, it has been played regularly every two years, and all matches are officially recognized by the ICC.

From 2016, the Asia Cup has been played in both ODI and T20I formats, depending on the upcoming world tournaments. Team India and Team Sri Lanka are two of the most successful teams in the history of the Asia Cup tournament. The Indian cricket team has lifted the Asia Cup trophy eight times, while the Sri Lankan cricket team has lifted the trophy 6 times. Sri Lanka has appeared 16 times in the Asia Cup, while India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh have each appeared in 15.
