Again a close finish but failed to win. Is it a mental or skill problem? TBH I feel bad for them, I was hoping they would win today to break jinx.

Pray to face Pakistan in the final![]()
They already did in 2012, didn't work out![]()

Pakistan is a different team now.
This.
Title needs to be adjusted.

Simple. One of the umpire call need to go in favor of BD in crucial moment.

we need to stop with this victim mentality. can't blame umpires or anyone today. it was our middle order collapse that wasted a very good opening stand.
better team won at the end. it hurts to witness another close game but I would rather compete than crash out easily.
To be honest India made a mess of a simple chase thanks to past by sell date players in the middle order. Any proper young team woudl have won the game in 30 overs.
LOL this team is much better. We had a terrible tournament but this team is better vs the 2012 one. Way better.
I think, we need to have a measure of our own strength.
I feel boys are still not sure exactly what is their capacity & what is their opponents' capability. Today, only thing that went wrong was we were trying to post 300 after that start, when the target should have been to play out 50 overs first, and may be blast in last 5-6 overs. At the end, we ended innings 9-10 balls earlier and almost noting from last 2 - 3 overs. I feel our boys like everyone underestimate our bowling and always end up trying to over stress with bat. In this tournament, in 2 other vital games as well, we were all-out before 50 overs, which is the first blunder in LO cricket.
It all comes down to how many weak links you have?
Teams like Afghanitsna and Bangladesh who are rising nations might have some terrific world class players that will put them right on top with their skills but what about the below average skill level players that these teams have more in abundance than the more settled cricket nations? Hiding them in the big matches becomes the biggest problem which is why pressure games remain a problem.
Fear of Indian openers made you guys play like that.

I'll be surprised if BD win the Asia cup in the next decade. I can see Afg and Pak as potential winners but not BD. BD team has its days but they rarely, if ever are motivated enough to win.
Thank the umpires and BCCI that u did not get the hammering of ur lifetime today.

Don't open your eyes, maybe you will win in your Dream. The BD team just knows how to loose from a winning situation. I can see Afg lift the Asia cup before BD does so you might can start planning on those excuses now

Asia Cup is an ACC tournament not ICC
welldine guys played well. Happy for Bangladesh, I wish they win today but we’ll played at he end. 250 on this pitch against fizz and co was never easy.That's the biggest mistake in cricket, as Richie Benaud will say - "Cricket is a game of a particular day - never play considering your opponents, play considering the situation". From like 120-0 in 23 overs, first thing you should try to cash on the great start to consolidate, even sacrificing RR, something Babar did in CL Final. 1-2 wickets I can understand, but the game was lost with Mushi - he was in golden touch in this tournament, guy revived situation twice from 12/3 & 3/3 - today tried to blast to reach 330 from 134/2 with 25+ overs left.

Not at all, that team had the services of a Prime Gul, a Prime Pre-15 degree Ajmal, Hafeez and an in-form Afridi. That team was much better than the current one
They can't win, there is a big conspiracy against them by the umpires![]()
Love the spirit of bengalis to be able to post this drivel after loosing 12 games against India... LoveThank the umpires and BCCI that u did not get the hammering of ur lifetime today.
