The most important thing about this Schedule is that it is full of Entertainment as the world wants to see the thriller between the two most promising rivalries Pakistan and India. The Asia Cup 2018 seems to be Special because it is providing the Chance for the cricket lovers to see Pakistan playing  against India 3 times in ODI cricket when the two teams, along with a few others feature in the 14th edition of the Asia Cup.
Team India is the defending Champions. Basically Asia Cup is biennial tournament. The Asia Cup 2016 was being played in Bangladesh and it was won by India. Now it was planned by ICC that the Tournament will be Held in INDIA .
International Cricket Council (ICC) decided to change the Venue of the 14th edition of the Asia cup which is the upcoming Asia Cup 2018. It was planed by ICC that the Asia Cup 2018 will be held in India (defending Champions).
With the passage of time ICC observed that the two most pivotal Cricketing Nations of the World, Pakistan and India have some political stress and there are tensions between Pakistan Cricket Board and BCCI (Indian Cricket Board), which forced ICC to change the Venue of the Asia Cup 2018.
Current Venue of Asia Cup is United Arab Emirates

Group Stage  – September 18-21
Super 4 Round – September 23-30
