[James]

Two good sides, the best in the competition.

Both have impressive wins under their belts in the tournament.
Neither team is unbeaten.

Who will win the Final?

 

[Mesozoic]

Whoever wins the toss. It's that simple.

 

[Double Trouble]

Sri lanka will win comfortably Pakistan batting is up there associate level these days.

May be Shadab & Naseem should open you never no they might put up a fight

The Toss

 

[Barragan]

Pakistan.

Pak will definitely learn from this defeat and will be much better prepared to tackle the SL spinners.

Also, Shadab coming back and playing in the middle will also help with the spin overs against SL because he is one of the better players of spin in the side.

Lastly, don't think Rizwan will give away his wicket as cheaply as he did today.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pakistan. Once Naseem comes back to replace Hasan, there will be consistent 140 + kph stuff that SL won't be able to play. Even this 120 total would have been defended has that been the case today.

Basically SL needs a miracle to win against this fast attack. Supporting SL buy I can't see how any team can beat this Pakistan team twice in a row.

 

[cricketAXEpert]

Two good sides, the best in the competition.

Both have impressive wins under their belts in the tournament.
Neither team is unbeaten.

Who will win the Final?

Srilanka has to be the favorite.
Pakistan has a huge middle order Hole that is getting hard to hide.

 

[WhenSultansBowled]

Toss will be a huge factor.

That said, if Pakistani fielders can backup their bowlers then SL batters will find it extremely hard.

Either way, both SL and Pak are deserving finalists.

 

[ChTab]

Toss will decide the match Asia Cup final is pointless I'd take the loss in the finals in a heartbeat if that means we win vs IND at MCG & perform well in upcoming WT20

 

[shamaan]

Pakistan should win If they play to thier potential

 

[Shafi]

Get rid of Hasan, Usman, Fakhar and Khusdil and bring Dhani, Nasim, Haider and Shadab. Dhani is a better batsman than Fakhar for sure.

 

[Marooned]

I'm optimistic.

 

[Marooned]

I'd add if the choice is between Hasnain and Dahani, I'd pick Dahani.

 

[Saj]

Toss could be crucial:

8 matches have been played in Dubai so far at the Asia Cup:

6 matches won by team batting second
2 matches won by team batting first (India v Hong Kong & India v Afghanistan)

 

[jattafridi]

Sri Lanka will win the toss and the match

Dasun Shanaka lucky captain

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan have a better team on paper.

Sri Lanka have a better momentum.

I say it is 50-50. Can go either way.

 

[Asif321]

Pakistan heavily dependent on Rizwan and babar if you get both of them out within 5 overs the game is done

 

[jnaveen1980]

Srilanka has a deep batting line up. Their strategy of going after bowling non stop can backfire big time like it did against Afghanistan. They are not that good a side. It is a miracle they beat India and Afghanistan. Pakistan is reasonably a settled side. Babar/Fakar both are due for big runs. So i bet Pakistan will win it. May not be an easy win. But they have the edge.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Toss is crucial.
Pakistan have the edge. Lanka also looks good.

 

[pakistani pride]

Toss could be crucial:

8 matches have been played in Dubai so far at the Asia Cup:

6 matches won by team batting second
2 matches won by team batting first (India v Hong Kong & India v Afghanistan)

True, but certain people try to use this as an excuse to hide the fact their team got beaten.

India should have won that Lanka game. They SL were 5 down with many to get. No dew but india bowled very poorly with strange field placings.

Also their batting score 10 to 15 runs less.

 

[SamNJ]

Toss will play a role no doubt but Pakistan has bowling which can defend 150 against SL.

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Usually, not always, I see teams that win dress rehearsals win the final too. In all sport. Rarely do you see reversals. Something to do with confidence.

So I feel Sri Lanka have the edge.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Sri Lanka start off as favorites, owing to how ruthlessly they choked our batters on Friday. No reason Pakistan cannot bounce back though, hoping for a Babar masterclass.

 

[Smbhayi]

Whoever wins the toss. It's that simple.

Lol..
