There are no culprits. India played two levels above any side in Asia Cup. They overcame swinging conditions and as the track became more batting friendly they were always going to win. We punched above our weight the whole tournament considering we rank no 10 but the gap between their batting quality and ours were just too great. They targetted specific bowlers and mostly played risk free. Another 10-20 runs would not have made a difference. We needed the overs of mustafiz to make things really competitive. It didnt help that shakib bowled poorly with the ball but when you are under so much pressure it can happen.
