Asia Cup kicks off as teams gear up for World Cup

The 16th edition of the Asia Cup, a regional cricket tournament, starts on Wednesday with the participating teams focusing on to have a fine tune ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup.
Pakistan will take on Nepal in the opening game at Multan to kick-start the tournament.
This is the first time that the tournament is being co-hosted by multiple countries, with four matches taking place in Pakistan and the remaining nine in Sri Lanka.
Pakistan basically were the host of the tournament but the political turmoil between them and India forced the event to be shared by two countries.
