Bangladesh seem to be inching ahead here. The Pakistani bowlers bowled well today and a target of 240 should have been straightforward. But the batsmen have made a mess out of it. Imam Ul haq stands between Bangladesh and victory.

Pakistan lost. The final will be played between India and Bengladesh on 28th September in Dubai.

Awful performance by Pakistani cricket team. Bad captaincy by Sarfaraz Ahmed throughout the match, why did he come so early at two-down and why the hell did he send Shadab Khan after that? So many questions to be answered by him - to me it seems like he won't remain captain for long.

Everyone was hoping for Pakistan to win so they could face off with India but Bangladesh were simply too good for Pakistan on the day. I must say that Pakistan have played terrible in this tournament which is a little disappointing as they normally play well in ODI matches. I think the team that has performed the best is Afghanistan even though they didn't make the final, they played very well and gave a good performance in all their matches. India should win the final but we just never know as Bangladesh have also stepped up and are playing some good cricket.

Bangladesh has reached Finals of the Asia Cup. It was not expected much that Bangladesh could enters final . But the way they had played and beaten Pakistan seems that they can be tough for the India in finals and make the final more interesting.

Yeah I think Bangladesh has so far had an amazing tournament and deserve to be in the final against India. It was no surprise to me that they made it this far as they have been improving a lot over the past couple of years and also Pakistan haven't been playing well recently and are in poor form which they will need to turn around as they have a test series with Australia soon.

What a travesty? Bangladesh would not rank among the top 3 teams in terms of performance in this tournament, and they managed to reach the finals. The format was ridiculous. There was no need for this super-4 crap. Semifinals and then finals would have been much better.

Yup, I agree on the same, the final will be one-sided from the beginning itself. Bangladesh might have given a tough fight but, even their star performer is injured and now he won't be playing. The game can be boring if we don't see some fight for a win. I expected Afghanistan to be in the finals as they played remarkably this tournament and they are a rising threat to top best cricket playing countries.
India has won the Toss and they choose to field first.

I'll agree this is not the final I had in mind when the tournament began, but Pakistan have themselves to blame for this mess. I don't think Bangladesh would be a tough competition they already lost their star player to an injury, and currently are at 159 and have lost 5 wickets. I believe they'll finish their innings under 250 runs, which shall be a very simple chase for team India. It's worth mentioning Liton has played a tremendous knock under pressure, but I don't expect it'll help Bangladesh win.

Bangladesh started well their innings and lost 1st wickets at score of 120 runs. But after that India came back so strongly that they got ll out the team for a score of 222. Bangladesh could not capitalize the start they had got it and would regret as they could not pose even 250 runs on the board.

Man, what a match! It just concluded with India's win, but we must admit that Bangladesh didn't let India win easily, the game's decision was made on the very last ball of the match. Both teams did play their best but the better one won.

I expected an easy win for India and made my bet before the match even started and when they bowled Bangladesh cheaply I never expected the match to be this close. Before the tournament I thought India will be facing Pakistan in the final but we saw what happened. Overall a boring tournament but the final innings was interesting as it went till the final ball.

In Dubai ground 250+ score is a winning score as it is a bowling pitch so easily cannot win in this pitch, As expected India won but with full thrill. Bangladesh will also be happy as they fought very good and would have thought if they have made more 10 runs then they will be having more winning chances.

In the end India won the Asia Cup 2018 Series.

Who would have expected that the final would turn out to be the nail biting game and on the very last ball it will decide the winner. It seemed that Bangladesh has actually done very well in this tournament as even they almost nailed their final till last ball. But in the end India manage to win it.

I expected it to be a one sided match, but Bangladesh could have easily won it with a little more experience. In the end, the Indians who didn't panicked under pressure managed to beat them. Anyway, good performance by the Bangladeshis.

Yes, after seeing Indians performance in group stages most of the Indian fans were expected it can be a one-sided match but Bangladesh bowlers did a wonderful bowling to put Indian under pressure for quite some time. The Indian side has very good experienced players so they managed to handle the situation well to win this match. If KM Jadhav got out early then result might be different in that match.

It is never a loss for Bangladesh as reaching finals itself ia huge win for them and after that making India win on the last ball itself showed they almost made it big match. It is now time for other teams to think how will they face such a huge challenge from the likes of Bangladesh.

A loss is a loss, nevertheless. If Bangladesh wants the cricket lovers to take them seriously, then they need to win major tournaments such as Asia Cup, Champions trophy and even the cricket world cup.

Bangladesh really plays well but i have seen most of the matches they play are either tied of won by the opponent. This Asia cup, finals were between Bangladesh and India, and bangladesh played well but can't cope up to win the series.

They really played well and if they really want peoples to draw some attention towards them, they should start winning some matches. Bangladesh is not that famous cricket team from the start and they had made up building some reputation in between but loosing some matches again made them loose it.

I individually respect each team and their members but the major part which comes in accross with bangladesh team is that they don't have that good practice to win the tournaments. They should try building their tactics some more and also should practice some more hard to get into the fame.

[vella85]

Well it was to be expected that India would win the Asian cup final but I thought Bangladesh played well to at least make it competitive and not a one sided match. This is a huge step in the right direction for Bangladesh as it gives them confidence that they can match it with the big teams in finals, I think we can take them seriously even though they didn't get the win, the main thing is that they were competitive for most of the game. Congrats to India on the win!

The match will be forgotten and in the end only the records will remain. And as per the stats, Bangladesh lost the match and it was India which won it. So there is no point in saying that they put up a good fight. They need to win matches, especially the crucial ones.
