2017 Asian Baseball Cup

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2017 Asian Baseball Cup was an international baseball tournament contested by the men's national teams of WBSC Asia's member associations. It was the 13th edition of the biannual Asian Baseball Cup, and served as qualification to the 2017 Asian Baseball Championship.[1] It was divided into two separate divisions, East and West, alternatively called the 2017 East Asian Baseball Cup and 2017 West Asian Baseball Cup.

The 2017 West Asia Baseball Cup was held from 25 February 2017 to 1 March 2017 at Jinnah Sports Stadium in Islamabad, Pakistan.[2][3] It saw Nepal participating in their first competition, and Sri Lanka moving to the West Cup. The latter were crowned as the champions for the first time after they beat hosts Pakistan in the final.[4]

On the other hand, the 2017 East Asia Baseball Cup was cancelled due to lack of a suitable host.
