Asia Cup, 2012

"The wickets of Shakib and Tamim were the turning point tonight. We also gave away some runs in the last over, that was crucial" said Bangladesh captain Mushfiqur Rahim.

Bangladesh lost the Asia Cup final by a narrow margin but won a lot of hearts with their brave fight consistently through the tournament.

Pakistan produced a superb bowling effort after being restricted to 236 to sneak a narrow 2 run win and win the final of the Asia Cup.

There were some rumours from unnamed sources that the Indian team had complained to the ICC asking them to investigate Ajmal's action.

Mushfiqur Rahim was also confident that the team would do one better and cross the last hurdle, when they face Pakistan.

A thorough team effort helped Bangladesh qualify for the Asia Cup final for the first time as they outclassed a dispirited Sri Lanka.

A bookie has been killed in Lahore after India vanquished Pakistan by 6 wickets in a thrilling Asia Cup match.

If Bangladesh win, they will be tied on eight points with India but will go through to the final since they had beaten India in the league stage.

Sri Lanka are out of the tournament and will be keen on leaving Bangladesh with at least a win under their belts while the Bangladeshi's will go all-out for another upset and get their place in the finals.

"It was an excellent innings by Kohli. The best innings (Kohli) I have ever seen. Credit goes to their batsmen" said Misbah ul Haq after Pakistan's loss to India.
