The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) announced the schedule of the Men’s U-19 Asia Cup 2024 on Friday, November 8, a tournament which will be played in Sharjah and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The coveted India versus Pakistan clash in Group A will be played in Dubai on the second day of the tournament on November 30, which will coincidentally kick-start the Men’s U-19 Asia Cup 2024 for both the teams.
Notably, the eight-team Men’s U-19 Asia Cup 2024 has two groups of four teams each, and the top two from each group will be making the semi-final stage of the tournament, finding themselves a step closer to the final, which will happen on December 8 in Dubai. The hosts UAE are in Group A alongside India, Pakistan, and Japan, while in Group B, Bangladesh are pitted alongside Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Nepal.
