| Sri Lanka v Bangladesh (Asia Cup, March 20) -- Can Bangladesh Shock India Once Again? |
Sri Lanka is already out of the tournament losing first two league matches against India and Pakistan; but they have to play for their pride. On the other hand; the thrilling victory of Bangladesh over India on Friday not only prevented the tournament to be meaningless until the final, but it also kept India on the edge even after an exciting win over Pakistan the other day.
According to latest team positions on points table; India is placed on second spot with eight points and Sri Lanka is on the third spot with four, having one match in the pocket. If Bangladesh manages to produce the same cutthroat performance, as they did against India, they can manage to win the match that will throw India out of the contest once again.
Bangladesh just need a victory to qualify for the final of Asia Cup as no question of net run rate (NRR) will arise because Bangladesh have beaten India on the league stages.
The home conditions, home crowd and the master class victory against mighty India will definitely help the hosts to produce another upset of the tournament. Let’s watch, fingers crossed.
As a day/night fixture; today’s match will start at 14:00 local time, 13:00 PST (08:00 GMT).
