Pak v Ban (Final) -- Would winning momentum help Bangladesh attain Asia Cup glory?

Another interesting fact is that the same outfits played the opening match of the tournament on March 11 and after further 11 days they are again in front of each other for the final face-off.

Although the hosts have lost the league match but they fought bravely and forced Pakistan to run hard for the victory. Now Bangladesh have the required momentum in their favor after thrashing India and Sri Lanka consecutively to reach the final and this is really an alarming situation for Pakistan, running a bit low after crushing defeat in the hands of India.

The most of the cricket gurus think that Bangladesh wouldn’t have had the best chance to win any major cricket tournament other than today. Everything seems to be in their favor like home conditions, home crowd, winning momentum and relatively low-confident opposition.
