    The Asia Cup is an international cricket tournament. It was conceived in 1983 when the Asian Cricket Council was created as a measure to promote goodwill between Asian countries. It was originally scheduled to be held every two years. The first edition was held in 1984 in Sharjah, UAE where the council's offices were based (until 1995). The International Cricket Council has ruled that all games played for the Asia Cup have official One Day International status. India along with Sri Lanka has lifted the Asia cup the most times (4). India appeared in every final apart from the 1986 (India pulled out due to strained cricketing relations with Sri Lanka), 1993 (when it was cancelled due to strained political relations between India and Pakistan) and 2000 cups. Sri Lanka, however, have appeared in every final since the cup's inception.

    The ACC have announced that the tournament will be held biennially from 2008 onwards

    First edition: 1984

        Main article: 1984 Asia Cup

    The first edition of the Asia Cup was held in 1984 in Sharjah, UAE, the location of the headquarters of the newly formed Asian Cricket Council. The first match was Pakistan vs the new ICC member Sri Lanka. The tournament was a round-robin tournament; India won both its matches, winning the inaugural Cup. Sri Lanka came in second while Pakistan lost both its matches.

    [edit] Second edition: 1986

        Main article: 1986 Asia Cup

    The second edition was held in Sri Lanka, the first multi-national cricket series to be held there. India had pulled out of the tournament due to soured cricketing relations with Sri Lanka after a controversial series in Sri Lanka the previous year. Bangladesh was included for the 1st time. Sri Lanka won the cup in the final beating Pakistan.

    [edit] Third edition: 1988

        Main article: 1988 Asia Cup

    The third edition was held in Bangladesh, the first time that a multi-national cricket tournament was held there. In the final, India beat Sri Lanka by 6 wickets and won thier 2nd Asia Cup.

    [edit] Fourth edition: 1990/91

        Main article: 1990-91 Asia Cup

    The fourth edition was held in India. Pakistan had pulled out of the tournament due to strained political relations with India. India retained its hold on the Cup defeating Sri Lanka in the final.

    [edit] Fifth edition: 1995

        Main article: 1995 Asia Cup

    The fifth edition took the series back to Sharjah after 11 years. India and Sri Lanka made it to the final by virtue of better runrate than Pakistan as all three teams had equal points after preliminary round. For the third successive time in the Asia Cup, India defeated Sri Lanka in the final.

    [edit] Sixth edition: 1997

        Main article: 1997 Asia Cup

    The sixth edition was held in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka beat India in the final by 8 wickets to win its 2nd Asia Cup and halt India's 3 consecutive cup victories.

    [edit] Seventh edition: 2000

        Main article: 2000 Asia Cup

    The seventh edition took place in Bangladesh for the 2nd time. Pakistan and Sri Lanka made it to the final while India only won 1 match against Bangladesh and did not qualify for the final for the 1st time. In the final, Pakistan beat Sri Lanka and lifted the Asia Cup for the 1st time.

    [edit] Eight Edition: 2004

        Main article: 2004 Asia Cup

    The eighth edition took place in Sri Lanka 4 years after the seventh edition in 2000. There was a change in the tournament format this time. Other Asian teams like UAE and Hong Kong were also included for the first time and the tournament was now divided into 3 stages – the group stage, the knockout Super Fours and the final. The group stage was divided into 2 groups of 3 teams, each playing each other once. The top 2 teams from each group will qualify for the Super Four stage where they play each other again once. The top 2 teams in the Super Four stage will then qualify for the final. Hosts Sri Lanka, India and UAE were placed in Group A while then defending champion Pakistan, Bangladesh and Hong Kong were placed in Group B.

    Sri Lanka and Pakistan topped their respective groups and as expected, UAE and Hong Kong were knocked out in the group stage. Bangladesh had the distinction of reaching the knockout stage in a major tournament for the first time, but played poorly in the Super Fours and got eliminated. India and Sri Lanka topped the Super Four stage and reached the final. In the final, Sri Lanka defeated India by 25 runs to win the Asia Cup.

    [edit] Ninth edition: 2008

        Main article: 2008 Asia Cup

    The ninth edition of the Asia Cup was held in Pakistan. Once again, the 2004 format was retained. The tournament started on June 24, 2008 and ended on July 6 2008. Sri Lanka topped Group A and qualified for the second phase along with Bangladesh. In Group B, India came out on top and entered the Super Fours along with Pakistan in second place. Sri Lanka and India topped the Super Four stage and entered the final. Sri Lanka beat India in the final comfortably to equal India with 4 Asia Cup trophies. Sanath Jayasuriya smashed a quick 125 off 114 balls to rescue Sri Lanka from 66/4 earlier on when the top order collapsed. Sri Lanka's new mystery spinner, Ajantha Mendis, grabbed figures of 6/13 that left India in tatters.

        * Group A consisted of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and UAE.

        * Group B consisted of India, Pakistan and Hong Kong.
