Before the Asia Cup began, no one in their right mind would have predicted Bangladesh to beat India. However, home advantage and pressure-free batting has made Bangladesh a serious contender for the title. Today's match between Ind and Ban will also be written in golden words in history books because of SRT's achievement of a mammoth record: his 100th hundred. However, responsible innings from Tamim and Nasir, and blitzkrieg from Shakib and Mushfiqur put Indian fans in the dilemma of whether to laugh or cry at the end of the match. One thing is for sure that the much awaited battle between India and Pakistan now carries even more weight as India will be looking for a win for another shot at Pakistan in the final and Pak team will be aiming to erase horrifying memories of Mohali semi-final from its fans' brains.
On a totally random note, I have two points of consideration before this match. First, Misbah's match-losing performances against India should earn him some cheers from Indian fans. Second, the fact that Tendulkar's century often helps the opposition would have many Pak fans praying for his 101st ton.
