Bangladesh Seek for different, as India look to Repeat

              The Asiacup as been more productive to the sponsors this time around being in the T20 format for the first time. The matches also been sportive enough with pitches been prepared unlike subcontinent with more help to the pacers.
              Now it's high time in Asiacup as hosts turn up for a bigger challenge in the final against India on Sunday. Not surprising India won all their games in the league phase to make it in to the final and on the other side Bangladesh produced some serious results only losing to India in the league stage.
              Bangladesh as been on a roll at home against modern gaints in recent times and they replicated the same in the tournament. But on the final day they once again face India where their fortunes turned not so good either in the quarter final of Wc15 or at the opening match of Asiacup with dropping Rohit and not able to cope with Indian bowling.
             India Meanwhile getting in to their groves more, whether it is in batting or in bowling. The recent sign's showing by Yuvraj, that he is getting more in to the groves which will be another problem Bangladesh face along side Rohit and Virat. The bench players also followed with impressive performance against UAE, by making most of the opportunity given to them.
               Even with injury to Mustafizur Rahaman the Bangladesh bowling looked good with lites of Taskin Ahmed, Al-Amin Hossian and Mortaza along side with their premier allronder Shakib. But it will be their batting and fielding where the result gonna lie for the hosts against the Asian giants.
              The pitch proved to be critical through the early phase for batting, but with the grass being cut down in recent matches provided much help for the batsmen. Although batsmen have to be aware of invariable bounce at times, spinners gonna be crucial in the final with the pitch dried out along side with the tournament.
            Hosts unlikely to make a change to their playing XI, Tamim Iqbal return boosted their batting more. While India look to replace their regulars in the side after testing their bench strength against UAE.
