so what will happen when these two play ????

Lets put it this way: Pakistan has lost both games, Bangladesh has lost both games. There is no reason why BD should not be able to win this one. With some determination and some good luck (apart from the spectacular drops the Pakistani fielders will offer), BD has every chance of winning.

Surfer is more optimistic than most of us. The day Ash sits out we greater our chance of winning. Simple formula.

For Pak, their bowling lineup gives them an edge. Their fielding has improved. Us, on the other hand, have failed to bat out 40 overs yet, let alone 50.

More reason to believe Bangladesh can win- Look at the two captains and their records. Shakib >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Afridi. End of discussion.

Bad news, but no big deal.

[Tiger444]

Viru hasn't even done well this Asia Cup anyways..heck he's not even that good in ODIs..tests is where he is beast..India should be fine without him..I think it will be a good championship game between Ind/SL and I predict SL will win..

[al-Sagar]

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to field in the dress rehearsal of final

[al-Sagar]

Sri Lanka team
WU Tharanga, TM Dilshan, KC Sangakkara*†, DPMD Jayawardene, CK Kapugedera, AD Mathews, SHT Kandamby, MF Maharoof, S Randiv, HMRKB Herath, UWMBCA Welegedara

India team
G Gambhir, KD Karthik, SK Raina, MS Dhoni*†, RG Sharma, V Kohli, RA Jadeja, P Kumar, Z Khan, AB Dinda, PP Ojha

[MohammedC]

Shamim Chowdhury comes to the commentary and within 5 minutes takes the wicket of Virat Kohli

[MohammedC]

And he takes another. Why does not this work when BD bowlers are bowling

[Nadim]

Hattrick for Mahroof.............

38.3
Maharoof to Khan, OUT, 86.1 mph, AND HE'S DONE IT! Rangiri Dambulla comes alive, as Zaheer Khan outside edges a ball that was doing nothing special, except that it was pitched on off.. Zaheer got forward and poked without much conviction and the outside edge flew wide of Sangakkara, who dives to his right and plucked it.. Four in four for SL.. Maharoof who made an unexpected comeback for the Asia Cup is the man of the moment.

Z Khan c †Sangakkara b Maharoof 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00



38.2
Maharoof to Kumar, OUT, 82.2 mph, Team hat-trick! Maharoof has gone past Praveen Kumar first ball, as he looked to play a nothing-shot to a ball not too short and far too close to off stump. The inside edge falls on the stumps and Maharoof is now on a hat-trick all of his own!

P Kumar b Maharoof 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Praveen Kumar comes in,

38.1
Maharoof to Jadeja, OUT, 82.9 mph, and he's gone first ball, playing all around a straight ball like a deer caught in the headlights! Jadeja walked across to the off stump for some reason and missed a ball headed for middle stump. India have lost two in two.

RA Jadeja lbw b Maharoof 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
