Asia Cup: Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka; set up final against Pak - NewsX
  • 5 years ago
India were tonight knocked out of the Asia Cup cricket tournament after minnows Bangladesh continued their giant-killing act by upsetting Sri Lanka by five wickets in the last league match in Mirpur. Chasing a revised target of 212 after a rain interruption, the spirited hosts held their nerve to make their maiden entry into the summit showdown of the tournament where they will meet Pakistan on Thursday. Nasir Hossain (36 not out) hit the winning boundary straight down the ground as the home crowd at the jam-packed Sher-E-Bangla National Stadium went into a state of frenzy. Tamim Iqbal (59 off 57 balls; 9x4), Shakib Al Hasan (56 off 46; 7x4), Hossain (36 off 61; 3x4) and Mahmadullah (32 not out off 33; 3x4) were the notable batting heroes for Bangladesh.
