The announced schedule shows that Bangladesh will play all three matches of the group stage at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi. The curtain will rise on the upcoming Asia Cup on September 9. The final match will be held on September 28. 8 teams will participate in the tournament divided into two groups. Bangladesh has been placed in Group ‘B’. Where their partners are Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Hong Kong. All 6 matches of Group ‘B’ will be held in Abu Dhabi.
