Dissecting India’s Record In Asia Cup T20Is

 

 

As far as the T20I Asia Cups are concerned, India have experienced contrasting fortunes. The ‘Men in Blue’ won the 2016 edition, whereas, they failed to qualify for the finals in 2022. From the 10 Asia Cup matches that India have played in the T20I format, they have won eight and have lost two. This makes them the most successful team in Asia Cup T20Is and one of the strongest to win the continental cup.
