The '''2014 Asia Cup''' (also known as '''Arise Asia Cup''') was the twelfth edition of the [[Asia Cup]] cricket tournament. The tournament was held in Bangladesh from 25 February to 8 March 2014. [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] were the defending champions, having won the [[2012 Asia Cup|previous tournament]].<ref name=cricinfo>{{cite web|title=Pakistan to take part in Asia Cup|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/asia-cup-2014/content/story/710317.html|publisher=[[Cricinfo]]|access-date=18 January 2014}}</ref> The tournament included the four Asian test-playing nations, [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]], [[India national cricket team|India]], [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] and [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]]; and [[International Cricket Council|ICC]] Asian [[ICC associate member|Associate member]] [[Afghanistan national cricket team|Afghanistan]]. This was the first 50-over tournament in which Afghanistan took part. Ten league matches were played along with the final.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.informationcricket.com/asia-cup/schedule/|title=Asia Cup 2014 Schedule}}</ref> The title sponsors of the tournament were [[Arise India]] and it was powered by Cycle Agarbathis.<ref>{{cite news|title=Arise India bags title sponsorship for Asia Cup 2014|url=http://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/arise-india-bags-title-sponsorship-for-asia-cup-2014-10547.html|access-date=10 March 2014|newspaper=India TV}}</ref> Sri Lanka Beat Pakistan in the final to become Asia Cup champions for the fifth time.

== Venues ==

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. <ref>https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bangladesh-to-host-asia-cup-629769</ref> 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.<ref>https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/sri-lanka-offer-to-host-asia-cup-world-t20-706781</ref> 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. <ref>https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/bangladesh-to-remain-asia-cup-host-706959</ref>
