The '''2012 Asia Cup''' (also called '''Micromax Asia Cup''') was an international [[cricket]] tournament held in Bangladesh from 11 to 22 March 2012. Like the previous event, the tournament featured the four Test-playing nations from Asia: [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]], [[India national cricket team|India]], [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]] and [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]]. India entered the tournament as the defending [[2010 Asia Cup]] Pakistan won the tournament by beating Bangladesh in the final by 2 runs.<ref name="R5">{{cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournaments/asia-cup-2012/top-stories/Ban-vs-Pak-Pakistan-beat-Bangladesh-in-thrilling-final-to-clinch-Asia-Cup/articleshow/12366052.cms |title=Ban vs Pak: Pakistan beat Bangladesh in thrilling final to clinch Asia Cup |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |date=22 March 2012 |access-date=22 March 2012}}</ref><ref name="R6">{{Cite web |url=http://cricket.yahoo.com/news/heartbreak-for-bangladesh--high-fives-for-pakistan-in-asia-cup-final.html |title=Heartbreak for Bangladesh, high fives for Pakistan in Asia Cup final |work=Yahoo!

==Background==
China was interested to host the Asia Cup at [[Guangzhou]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.altiuscricket.com/asia-cup-2012-itinerary.html |title=Asia Cup 2012 Itinerary |work=Altius Cricket |access-date=10 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140408224151/http://www.altiuscricket.com/asia-cup-2012-itinerary.html |archive-date=8 April 2014 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all}}</ref> but it was decided by the [[Asian Cricket Council]] that [[Bangladesh]] will host the event. It was the third time Bangladesh hosted the event after [[1988 Asia Cup|1988]] and [[2000 Asia Cup|2000]].

The event was supposed to be held between 1 and 11 March 2012, but was rescheduled to avoid conflicting with the [[2011–12 Commonwealth Bank Series|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.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/524481.html |title=Asia Cup rescheduled |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=21 December 2011}}</ref>

==Venues==
All the 7 matches were played at [[Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium]], [[Mirpur Thana|Mirpur]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/asia-cup-2012/content/ground/236761.html |title=Shere Bangla National Stadium |work=[[ESPNcricinfo]] |date=21 December 2011 |access-date=10 December 2011}}</ref>

{{Anchor|Points system}}
'''Points system''':<ref name="R2"/>
* '''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]].

==Fixtures==

===Group stage===
Each side played each other once in the group stages. The top 2 teams based on points at the end of the group stages meet each other in a one-off final. Each win yielded 4 points while a tie/no result yielded 1-point. A bonus point system was also in place, where a team could earn an extra point, in addition to the four received from a win, for a total of 5 points if they achieved victory using 80% or less of available overs or kept the opposition score to less than 80% of their own.

It was broadcast in India by [[Star Cricket]] and [[ESPN Asia|ESPN]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2006%5C05%5C22%5Cstory_22-5-2006_pg2_6|title=Pakistan to host Asia Cup in 2008|work=[[Daily Times (Pakistan)|Daily Times]]|date=22 May 2006|access-date=31 December 2012}}</ref> and in Pakistan by [[Geo Super]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.geo.tv/6-27-2008/19923.htm|title=Asia Cup super four leg from tomorrow|date=27 May 2006|work=Geo TV|access-date=31 December 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150208103253/http://www.geo.tv/6-27-2008/19923.htm|archive-date=8 February 2015|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Sri Lanka won the tournament after beating India by 100 runs in the final.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.espncricinfo.com/asiacup/content/story/360084.html| title=Mendis spins Sri Lanka to title triumph |date=6 July 2008|first=Dileep|last=Premachandran |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=31 December 2012}}</ref>

The '''1986 Asia Cup''' (also known as the '''John Player Gold Leaf Trophy''') was the second [[Asia Cup]] tournament, and was held in [[Sri Lanka]] between March 30 and April 6. Three teams took part in the tournament: [[Pakistan national cricket team|Pakistan]], [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] and Asian leading associate member [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]]. [[India national cricket team|India]] pulled out of the tournament due to strained cricketing relations with Sri Lanka and was replaced by Asian leading associate nation Bangladesh, which had qualified by winning the 1984 South-East Asia Cup.

The 1986 Asia Cup was a [[round-robin tournament]] where each team played the other once, and the top two teams qualifying for a place in the final. Pakistan won both its matches and qualified for the final against Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka beat Pakistan to win their first Asia Cup.
