The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has declared modifications to the schedule of the Asia Cup 2025 matches, with weather conditions and spectator convenience cited as the main motivations. The 15th edition of the Asia Cup will be contested in the T20I format, beginning on September 9.

As per the ACC, the matches will now commence at 6:30 PM UAE time, equating to 7:30 PM Pakistan time. This marks a deviation from the initial plan, which slated games to begin at 6:00 PM local time.

September 15 will see two matches played. The initial contest between the UAE and Oman in Abu Dhabi is arranged for 4:30 PM local time. The second match, showcasing Sri Lanka versus Hong Kong in Dubai, will kick off at 6:30 PM local time.
