This will be the 15th edition of the continental tournament which will have six teams in the main event. Defending champions India are also the most successful team, having won the trophy seven times. India defeated Bangladesh in the 2018 Asia Cup final under the leadership of the then-stand-in captain Rohit Sharma. Rohit will now be leading India this year as a full-time skipper.

The six teams are divided into two groups India, Pakistan, and Hong Kong - winners of the Qualifiers - have been put in Group A. While Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan comprise Group B.
Each team plays the other once in the group stage the top two teams from each group will advance to the Super 4 round. The top 2 teams from Super 4 will qualify for the final.
