In many editions of the Asia Cup, the participating teams are divided into groups, and they play a round-robin stage, where each team plays against every other team in their group.

 Super Four or Super Six Stage:

 After the round-robin stage, the top teams from each group may advance to a Super Four or Super Six stage, where they again play against each other.

Knockout Stage: 

Following the Super Four or Super Six stage, the tournament typically proceeds to a knockout stage, including semi-finals and a final match.

Net Run Rate:

 In case of tied points, the net run rate (NRR) can be used as a tiebreaker to determine which team advances.

The standard cricket rules regarding powerplays (periods of fielding restrictions) and other regulations are typically followed in Asia Cup matches. 

Umpire Decisions: 

Umpire decisions, including LBW (Leg Before Wicket) and DRS (Decision Review System), are usually part of the game, subject to the rules of international cricket.

In case of a tie in the final match, a Super Over (also known as a one-over eliminator) may be used to determine the winner.
