One of the biggest matches ahead of ICC World Twenty20 2016 is Micromax Asia Cup final which is going to be played on 6th March in Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur. It’s a surprising Asia Cup final fixture as nobody would have thought before starting the tournament that Bangladesh would reach to the final. Obviously India was expected to be there in the final and they are in it in the style.
This is the first occasion when Indian team will be up against Bangladesh in Asia Cup final as previously India met Sri Lanka in asia cup finals 1988, 1990, 1995, 1997, 2004, 2008 and 2010. However Men in Blue won five asia cup trophies over the years but Bangladesh are struggling to become champions of the tournament.
This is the second time when Bangladesh has qualified to reach to the final of Asia Cup as in 2012 they were runner up in the competition. That time, Pakistan defeated them by 2 runs. Hence they’ll be eager to win this 13th edition of Asia Cup to claim their first trophy ever.
