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.
