The Asia Cup saw a superb all-rounder performance by
Bangladesh at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Wednesday
defeating Pakistan by five wickets. Bangladesh’s performance tore down
Pakistan’s hope to be in the Asia Cup finals against India.
With Bangladesh as one of the finalists, India also won
its match against Sri Lanka and got selected for the finals.
According to cricket experts, a strong batting line
will be set up for Sunday’s finals by Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh of India. On
the other hand, the Bangladeshi team will consist of strong fast-paced bowlers
paired with steady batsmen with Tamim Iqbal and Rubel Hossain being the pillars
to smash down India with their bowling. Nasir Hossain and Mahmudullah Riyad are
the batting walls to chase the scores.
In Wednesday’s match Bangladesh defeated their Asian
counterpart, Pakistan for five wickets, with 129/7 in 20 overs. Pakistan had chosen
to bat first. In the second innings, Soumya Sarkar made an impressive 48 as
Bangladesh successfully chased the target scoring 131/5 in 19.1 overs. The next
match, i.e. the final will be one of the much-awaited innings. The traffic will
stop that day, said an ardent fan.
