The2014 Asia Cup (also known asArise Asia Cup) was the twelfth edition of theAsia Cup cricket tournament. The tournament was held in Bangladesh from 25 February to 8 March 2014.Pakistan were the defending champions, having won theprevious tournament.[4] The tournament included the four Asian test-playing nations,Bangladesh,India,Pakistan andSri Lanka; andICC AsianAssociate memberAfghanistan. This was the first 50-over tournament in which Afghanistan took part. Ten league matches were played along with the final.[5] The title sponsors of the tournament wereArise India and it was powered by Cycle Agarbathis.[6] Sri Lanka Beat Pakistan in the final to become Asia Cup champions for the fifth time.
India was originally selected as the host but pulled out in April 2013 citing scheduling concerns. Bangladesh won a bid to become the new host, even shifting their schedule around to accommodate the event.[7] In January 2014, after a wave of political violence in Bangladesh, doubt was cast over Bangladesh's ability to host the event and the 2014 World T20 that followed it. Sri Lanka offered themselves up as an alternative host for both events.[8] Bangladesh provided government assurance for extra security during the events, and so it was decided later in January to maintain Bangladesh as hosts. Afghanistan were also confirmed to be participating at this meeting.[9]
