The '''2010 Asia Cup''' (also known as '''Micromax Asia Cup''') was the tenth edition of the [[Asia Cup]] [[cricket]] tournament, which was held in [[Sri Lanka]] from 15 to 24 June 2010. Only the test playing nations [[Indian cricket team|India]], [[Pakistan cricket team|Pakistan]], [[Sri Lankan cricket team|Sri Lanka]] and [[Bangladesh cricket team|Bangladesh]] were taking part in the competition. [[Indian cricket team|India]] defeated [[Sri Lankan cricket team|Sri Lanka]] by 81 runs in the final to win a record 5th Asia Cup title. Pakistani captain, [[Shahid Afridi]] was declared the man of the tournament for scoring the most runs in the tournament, 265, with an average of 88.33 and a strike rate of 164.59.

==Trophy==
The trophy was made of a combination of silver, gold, copper and [[brass]] with a silver finish with mat and gloss finish.

==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.
