The Asia Pacific Cricket Champions Trophy 2025, hosted by the Singapore Cricket Association, is scheduled to commence on Friday, July 18, and conclude on Saturday, July 26. Over the span of eight days, 13 matches will be played at the Singapore National Cricket Ground.
The tournament will be played in a double round-robin format, with each side playing a total of six games, while the top two teams at the end of league games qualify for the finals on July 26. Four teams will compete for the title: Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and Samoa.
Hong Kong last played a T20I game during the Quadrangular Twenty20 Series (Hong Kong) and defeated Qatar by one run. Since 2020, Hong Kong lead the head-to-head stats against Singapore with a 3-1 margin, while they are on par against Malaysia (8-8), and yet to face Samoa.
Meanwhile, Malaysia played their last T20 game in the final of the Quadrangular Twenty20 Series (Malaysia), and clinched victory over Saudi Arabia by 18 runs. They also hold an 8-3 lead over Singapore in head-to-head stats, while one match gave no result.
Singapore, ranked 37th in the ICC Men’s T20I rankings, faced Thailand in the Quadrangular Twenty20 Series (Malaysia) and defeated them by 30 runs, marking their last appearance in a T20I game.
Samoa, led by Caleb Jasmat, played their last T20I game in 2024 during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup East Asia-Pacific Region Qualifier A, and beat Vanuatu by eight runs.
The tournament will help the sides prepare for the upcoming ICC Men's T20 World Cup Asia-Pacific Regional Final, set to be held later this year. On that note, let's take a look at the tournament’s schedule, squads, and match timings:
