2012 Asia Cup

China was interested in hosting the Asia Cup at Guangzhou but the Asian Cricket Council decided that Bangladesh will host the event. It was the third time Bangladesh hosted the event after 1988 and 2000. The event was supposed to be held between 1 and 11 March 2012, but was rescheduled to avoid a clash of dates with the ODI tri-series in Australia that also included Sri Lanka and India, which ended on 8 March. The tournament was played from 11 to 22 March. ==Venues==

All 7 matches were played at the Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium, Mirpur. ==Squads==

Points system: • Win: 4 points • Loss: no points • Tie/No result: 2 points • Bonus point: If a team wins, with a run rate ≥ 1.25 times that of the opposing team, that team gets 1 bonus point. (A team's run rate is number of runs scored divided by number of overs faced, except that a team is treated as having faced the full 50 overs if it loses all of its wickets) If two or more teams have the same number of points, the right to play in the final is determined as follows: • The team having the higher number of wins. • If two or more teams have same number of wins, the team with more wins against the other teams who have equal number of points and wins. (Head to head) • If still equal, the team with the higher number of bonus points. • If still equal, the team with the greater net run rate. ==Matches==
