Yes, with this win, Bangladesh cannot move ahead in the tournament but still, I would call it a good win for Bangladesh.

Think in a way that the Bangladesh team returning to home and people will talk about their poor performance and not winning a single match in the Super 4. Now at least they have something to defend that they had won against India but again not all teams can qualify for the finals.

Winning against a good team is always better than not winning at all in the entire tournament.

Somewhat agree. But the question is how convincing the win was. Who was the performer? Did they expect 44 runs from Nasum Ahmed? Did they expect 14 runs from a debutant pace bowler? Did they expect 29 runs from Seikh Mahadi? Of course not. The last game they won against India was pure luck. I don't want to give credit to those so-called top orders.

Liton has recovered from injury, and he is out of form at this moment. The credit goes to the Indian big fishes as well, who did not play the match against Bangladesh. This was the Indian Bench team against Bangladesh.

INDIA Vs SRI LANKA

IND @1.27
SRILANKA @3.45

This year's Asia Cup 2023 will end with the final between India and Sri Lanka on September 17. With a lot of desire and excitement, Sri Lanka is facing the favorite India in the Asia Cup this time. Although the betting odds of various betting sites suggest that India is much ahead of Sri Lanka but I have seen a lot of drama in this Asia Cup due to rain so if it doesn't rain then today's final will be very exciting. Both the teams have enough spinners so it is not possible to say in advance which team will perform better.

The Asia Cup Final Between Sirlanka and India will be played today. India is the favourite to win this Final match of the Asia Cup because they have a strong batting Line as well as bowling. In the Previous Super Four match India beat Sirlinka by 41 runs. Sirlinka bowl well in this match and all-out Indian team by 213 runs. Dunith Wellalage Sri Lanka bowlers in this match picked up 5 wickets and scored 41 runs. Wellalage is a challenging bowler for India Now. But India also bowled brilliantly and all out the Srilanka Team in just 172 runs and won the match by 41 runs. That is why India is my favourite to win this Asia Cup 2023 Trophy.

Indian top order batsmen were all fine except Virat Kohli, but Bangladesh's overall performance in that day's match was good. Especially in the matches where Bangladesh's top order batsmen can perform well, the chances of Bangladesh winning are high.
Another thing is that India's performance was not bad that day, Bangladesh came at the last minute and won by only 6 runs. If any of India's batsmen had been able to give a proper lead on the wicket, Bangladesh would not have won.
 A win is a win though. I am hoping that Bangladesh will play better cricket in the coming days.

A win is indeed a win. If you ask me to be honest, I was not satisfied with the performance of the batters. I am disgusted with some batters like Shamim Hossain Patwary. As Bangladeshi, we expect Bangladesh to play better cricket and win some games. It's not like we will win all the matches. I expect to play competitive cricket against all teams, and I am okay with that.

Anyways, BCB announced the team for the ODI series against New Zealand. Many new faces and some experienced players got the chance to prove themselves. All eyes will be on Mahmudullah Riyad as this series performance will be the key factor for selectors to re-arrange the World Cup team.

Bangladesh's batting line is very bad at present, but bowling line is doing very well, I don't blame the bowlers. However, BCB has announced the squad for the World Cup. With the World Cup ahead, the upcoming New Zealand series will be an important and fitness test for the Bangladeshi players. However, experienced batsmen are returning to the Bangladesh squad, hopefully Tamim, Mahmudullah, Soumya Sarkar can return to the team. Bangladesh's best opening batting is returning to the team, Bangladesh will not suffer an opening disaster. I hope the batting line of Bangladesh will be good. New Zealand announces squad with Lockie Ferguson as captain for the first time. Can't see more experienced players in the squad. Bangladesh will become stronger at home. I hope Bangladesh will play well at home.

To be honest, you never know if Bangladeshi openers would play well or not. Tamim Iqbal returned from Injury and he may some time to get into form. Liton Das is out of form as well. Soumya Sarkar was included in the squad but I am not sure in which position he will play. He might open the innings or he might play at number three position. Whatever position he plays, we expect some good performance from them. We don't want to see another disaster in the World Cup. Shakib Al Hasan had a dream to win the World Cup. But we expect them to play at least semi-finals for now. If they can go further, that will be dream come true.

There are almost 3 hours left in this final match and I am eagerly waiting for this battle. I am not sure what is the current weather would be in Colombo as I do not see any information on the Cricket channels about it now. I guess they will start the broadcast near the start of the match,

I checked the weather from Google and found that it is mostly cloudy in Colombo right now. The temperature is 30c and the Humidity is 72%.
I hope it doesn't rain today and we can see the full 50 overs exciting final today.

Hoping for an thriller final on this Sunday

In the next two hours, the final match will start. If the rain comes then both teams are concerned winner, but we all want to see the full match of 50 overs. Anyway, if we talking about the players of both teams in today's match, India and Sri Lanka both have game-changing players.

It's an exciting battle, we are all want to see this battle. I hope the rain will not come and Sri Lanka win this Asia Cup.

If Sri Lanka is able to win the match then it will be one of the greatest underdog story if they are able to defeat a full strength Indian team and win the Asia cup. My bet is on India to win.
Another interesting match up between South Africa and Australia is ongoing and with the series levelled, the winner of this match takes the series. The pitch is really slow and it is difficult to bat and South Africa is playing cautiously and moving at a slow pace, will see how the match goes.

South Africa is not playing in the style they played in last two matches and possible reason may be as you mentioned pitch condition. The ball is not coming to bat easily. South Africa already lost their openers which is not good sign for SA. This is must win game for both teams to win the series. South Africa deserve to won this match as they come back strongly after losing all matches t20 and ODI.

Dussen and Markram both are very dangerous  Markram plays a key role in winning third match. Australia will be looking to not allow these two to make partnership otherwise the target would be big like previous match.

[TheSpiral]

Today is final match of Asia Cup between two teams India and Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka won the toss and choose to bat first and if there is no rain then match will be very interesting.
India team is very energetic and batting, bowling and fielding of India team is good. If Sri Lanka targets competitive runs then they will surely attain 260 to 300. Kusal perera and kusal mendis are good players so there is a hope that they will perform very well to make the match competitive and Fifteen minutes has been left for Initiation of Match.

Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first. I actually do not like this decision from them too much. Because India is definitely a good team while chasing. They have a reputation for chasing down big targets. But I guess Sri Lanka is trying to play to their own strength and also trying to take advantage of what the pitch has to offer. Outside the performance of India against Bangladesh in the last match was not very good. I don’t think Sri Lanka is going to win. The match is about to start. Let’s see what happens.

Another interesting match up between South Africa and Australia is ongoing and with the series levelled, the winner of this match takes the series. The pitch is really slow and it is difficult to bat and South Africa is playing cautiously and moving at a slow pace, will see how the match goes.

South Africa started pretty badly in this decider match. They had lost two wickets for only 37 runs. Australia made a very good decision to ball after winning the toss. Right now, South Africa is in every building situation. The score is 75/2 after 16.5 overs.

Well first things first, Srilanka has won the toss and elected to bat first. They have won toss, so will they win the match?
Some people think that winning a toss in a final and putting runs on the board will have a significant impact on the match. We are yet to see this theory in this match.

The stadium is full and the crowd is supporting Srilanka. 35000 is the capacity at Colombo stadium. Srilanka team will be nervous at the start of the game. Both teams will try to lead from the front and will try to put the other team down right from the start.

In the previous match against India, Sri Lanka could not win despite batting at a target of only 214 runs. As the Sri Lankan batsmen are not experienced enough, they cannot bat well under much pressure. This is probably why the Sri Lankan captain won the toss and decided to bat.

India is definitely the favorite in today's match. However, their batsmen must play well. In the previous match, we saw that Indian and Pakistani batsmen performed very poorly against the Sri Lankan spin bowlers. Even in today's match, if the batsmen perform such a bad performance of India, then there is little chance of them becoming champions.

[Compromise me]

The deciding series has started between South Africa and Australia because this series has been tied to two, Australia has won two matches and South Africa has won two matches and this is the final match of the series.Australia win the toss and decided bowling. South Africa are  batting and they have scored 91 for the  loss of three wickets in 20 overs.Australia have given a huge shock to South Africa by dismissing T. Bavuma for zero runs.And on the other hand Q. de kock  lost his wicket after scoring 27 runs in 39 balls. With the wickets of these  two biggest  batsman falling south Africa has come under a lot of pressure.

South Africa are currently under a lot of pressure with the loss of four wickets. South Africa has performed very well in the past matches but in today's last match the South African team lost wickets heavily. Losing wickets in power plays in ODI matches certainly puts the team under pressure to increase the number of runs later on. Today the bowling performance is good due to which the players of the South African team are not able to stay on the field for a long time. Sean Abbott of Australia team has picked up one wicket and given 29 runs in 8 overs so far which is his best performance in today's match.

[UmerIdrees]

My bet is on India to win.

Good luck and congratulations, India will win today definitely.  

I just wonder why we needed to have a Asia Cup in the first place. India not willing to play at the original Asia cup venue, getting an extra day for India vs. Pakistan Super 4 match to get two points, otherwise both teams would have gotten 1 point each, manipulation all around as other matches had no extra days and now in the finals Srilanka 12-5.

ACC could have handed over the Asia Cup to India even before the tournament started  

Once again Congratulations Team India.

Even in today's match, if the batsmen perform such a bad performance of India, then there is little chance of them becoming champions.

The final match of Asia Cup started between India and Sirlanka. Sirlinka won the toss and elected to bat first that was a good decision but Sirlinka is a very poor batting performance. The Current score of Srilanka is 12 runs in loss of 6 wickets. What a bowling performance by the Indian team and now it is one sided match. Muhammad Siraj bowling amazingly picks 4 wickets in 2nd over of his spell. Muhammad Siraj Five Wickets Haul in Just 16 balls. A brilliant spell by giving 5 runs in 2.4 overs. It is a historical spell. India will win the Final of the Asia Cup very easily.

haha Sri Lanka's performance makes me smile. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. And after taking the batting decision and starting the innings badly, it is unimaginable. They lost 6 batsmen to collect 12 runs. I never thought Sri Lanka were a team worthy of the final though. They were very lucky so they won against Pakistan and managed to qualify for the final. However, I don't see any possibility that Sri Lanka will win this match. Surely they will be defeated and defeated very badly. The final match was expected to be very competitive. But Sri Lanka's batting is very annoying.

Mohammad Siraj is bowling the best of his career today. Sri Lanka have just lost their seventh wicket. Kushal Mendis returned to Sajghar after collecting 17 runs. Now the experienced Sri Lankan batsman is only at the Wellalage crease.
Out of 7 wickets, Syriza picked up 6 wickets. He bowled brilliantly. By bowling 5.2 overs, Siraj took 6 wickets and gave only 7 runs. Mohammad Siraj has single-handedly destroyed Sri Lanka's batting line-up. Sri Lanka collected only 33 runs in 11.2 overs, losing 7 wickets. I doubt if Sri Lanka can collect 50 runs.
