It is amazing how Bangladesh cricket team has come to be playing the final of Asia Cup against Pakistan. It is a comparatively new team and surely a less experienced one. BC rose through the ranks in the recent years heading its way slowly but steadily to the top. Even if they do not win today I personally put them among the top teams playing today. Beating world class Sri Lanka and India is not to be ignored.
Though they did not fare well previously (having won only two out of the last twenty-nine games before they entered this tournament) but in this tournament they being a home team has shown their commitment and confidence in a way that have left two big teams - India and Sri Lanka wondering what went wrong with them and why they could not defeat the bengalis. The way the Bangladesh team has conducted themselves in this event is amazingly blissful for their fans.
What remains to be seen now is how they perform against Pakistan? Will their batting and bowling be able to hold together and complement each other? Will their players be able to live through the pressure of playing against Pakistan and more than that playing in one of major finals? Will they make sure they do not lose again this time in the final? All these questions are to be answered today.
The Bangladesh team may not win today but even coming this far is also an achievement for them. This tournament will surely boost their confidence and do wonders to their commitment to the game as well as their courage to take on other great teams in the world of cricket.
