The tournament has 19 matches, starting with Afghanistan vs Hong Kong and ending with the final. India and Pakistan could face each other up to three times. The BCCI remains the official host, but the event is in the UAE due to India-Pakistan tensions. The format includes group stages and a Super Four phase.
