The final match of the Asia Cup Cricket Tournament will be played between Pakistan and Bangladesh today.
History beckonsThe debacles of two teams, who have dominated the tournament since its inception way back in 1984, paved way for an unlikely finalist in Bangladesh , a side which is known to upstage biggies but not forgoing the whole hog. The giant-killers thrashed India, chasing down a mammoth 290, but that was seen merely as one of rare stunners that Bangladesh are so well known to throw up in multi-national events.
Victory against Sri Lanka on Tuesday triggered spontaneous celebrations, street parties all across Dhaka which went on into early hours of Wednesday. Thousands of fans sang and danced in streets after team's victory - and earlier win against India last week.
Quotes
"I was out of the country and having a holiday when these things were happening. It gave me some rest and mental freshness. I wanted to prove myself in the game after I came back. I worked hard and it's going alright."
With three half-centuries in three games, Tamim Iqbal has more than proved his point after having been left out of the original Asia Cup squad.
