Default Bangladesh can still reach Asia Cup Final 2014

So here's the scenario where we can reach the final even with all the other teams winning with bonus point against afghanistan and we failing to secure a bonus point:
SL beats India
BD beat Afg
Pak beat Ind
SL beat Afg
BD beat Pak
Ind beat Afg
BD beat SL

This permutation is the easiest and also most realistic route for us to reach finals. The points table will look like this:
SL - 13
BD - 12
IND/PAK - 9
AFG - 0

In other words, keeping it simple, we somehow should scrap three wins, even it is by 1 run against AFG, and hope SL beat Ind, and Pak then beat Ind. The last game for BD will be against SL, and if we'd have managed to win 2 games already (VS AFG & PAK), then I can say even SL would want to face us in finals rather than IND or PAK (you know what I mean)

Other ways for us to reach final is still possible, but they will involve NRR and bonus point calculations which is too complex.
In sha Allah will triumph this Asia Cup 2014!
