Bangladesh again played very well for the cup, but Pakistan bowlers bowled superbly and took away the victory and Asia cup. Bangladesh needed 4 runs in the last ball but failed to get. It was a very tight and exciting match to watch on. Pak took wickets at regular intervals , it made the Bangladeshi batsmen under pressure. Pak-236/9 Ban-234/8

It was superb match. I was not Bangladesh fan, and I don't hate Pakistan. But yesterday, the approach and the fight Bangladesh displayed made me cheer for them. I think Bangladesh have won the match morally. After losing the match, All of them were very much disappointing, nearly cried. Watching the face of sakib and all, i was also felt disjointedness.It was thrilling good cricket. Bangladesh have no more minnows, they have proved it. I think there is nothing wrong if BCCI accept their test series request. I think they deserved this Asia cup more than any one else.

Surely they won everyone's mind. Their passion towards the game is incredible. They are really getting into a good team. The high ranked teams should start playing more ODI and test matches with them. They should be given chance to play abroad....

surely, they should play more comparative cricket, then only they can come up. They should tour to some high ranked teams, at least for ODI.

Bangladesh have developed and matured very much. They are now playing extremely well. Also their crowds supports them brilliantly. As you said, Bangladesh really wanted to win this match. Every one was praying for it. This Asia cup is a warning for all the teams which consider Bangladesh as minnows, they are also a compatible ODI team. They should play more and more tours, so that the players will get more chances to perform.

Bangladesi's were perform really well in this tournament. In my focus they are played well after bpl t-twenty tournament. Its really help them so much. We indians also follow that india performed well after ipl. And many young star prove him in this tournament. So it is a only reason of bangladesi's good form.

Hello ram, I really felt for Bangladesh when they loss, they started to cry and I think they were overconfident on the winning. However, I have great respect for the team, on their improvement, showing their talent in front of the world. They are really improving day by day as a good team. Even if they loss still they can be proud on their achievements. Earlier the team was not at all good and the opposite team may be taken so easily when they face Bangladesh, now that thinking changed for sure. Hats off to the Team Bangladesh. Pakistan bowlers played well which led them to get the Cup.

Yes, Bangladesh improved a lot, they actually deserved the victory. Now no team will look them as a minnows, they are growing up and really playing hard. As you said Pak bowlers maintained their confidence, it made them win, if India was there Bangladesh might have won the match.....

i would add that pakistan till the last ball were not sure and the pressure was evident on them as well. cricket is a funny game at times wherein the last ball/runs decides the winner.

Yes it is rightly said that they played a good game of cricket and played quiet consistently from the first match in which also they gave good competition to the Pakistan players and then in the final also they did really played some good cricket. hats off to the Bangladesh players specially to Sakib,Tamim and Rahim for showing that Bangladesh is also a good team and I think it is the new beginning for Bangladesh Cricket.Am hoping they do well in the future also and I would say that BPL must have helped them play good cricket.But it is true that they have to prove it outside Bangladesh also.

The Bangladeshi players started taking cricket seriously, and it had seen some changes in their performance. I future they should come up strongly and should develop some fear and pressure on the opposition. BPL had helped them a lot....

Hello. Bangladesh played very well.they really deserve of winning the Asia cup. But Pakistan outplayed them... Bangladesh played very well to restrict Pakistan to that Total.. They also batted well too... In last two balls Bangladesh needed 4 to win from 2 balls.. But abdur rassak was trying to scope backwards but the ball hits the stumps.. i Think if he had 4 runs if he had got that right.. Then Bangladesh would have easily would have won Asia cup!!

Bangladesh should have won it, they deserved the cup[ than any other team. They showed their skills to all other team in the series, but finally they lost the match.

Very bad that bangladesh lost this match. I nevere belive bangladesh would play like this. Well if they would have won the match it would be much better but still ok they fougnt well and display cgaracter. The courage they shown is good and remarkable. Hqt's of them. Hipe is going on bangladesh as a odi team but i don't think bangladesh is that much strong what people are talking of. They played the match in thier home ground that's why they able to make the mark else they are still nothing. I will see if they perfrorm outside where pitch will not so friendly to them particularly with green fast pitches. They played good but still have to do more labout come to the standard of the big teams.

Yes, the Tigers played beautifully through out the series, I think they deserved the cup, but Pak won it. And as you said , Bangladesh played well in their home, they need to perform well in other countries also.

Hello, Its really a great match. Bangladesi's were really tring very hard. But atlast they cant chase 236. Its very shockable. I think india easily can beat pakistan in final. But its again bad luck for india team. They played well though they did not qualify for the final of the tournament. Pakistani's are now champion of asia cup. I agree with you that pakistani's were perform well in this tournament and really eligeable for asia cup champion. Overall it was a awesome tournament and moments were very enjoyable for us.

I too believe that India would have beaten Bangladesh if they were in final. I think Pakistan , India and Bangladesh played very well in the Asia cup. Andthis tournament was a good one with some tight and close matches....

It really a matter of surprised for the cricket fraternity a nation rising in the cricket. Like SriLanka once a weak team so was our country India then they rose to win many hearts,broke the pride of the those who feel cricket is their game only. Same way Bangladesh is rising , hope they will survive more and not go down like Zimbabwe. Good fighting spirit from Bangladesh let them reach the final. They lost it by very small margin so we may treat them as winner. Wait few year this team will equal everyone. They will surprise more, win more matches. Time will come when they too will be considered as a team to fear from.

Surely , Bangladesh is raising as a team. They are showing their real skills. Teams like them should we made to play more matches with the other high ranked countries. I think BPL really made some impact also.

Sadly when it comes to business the customer is always right. The best thing to do is apologize. Calm the customer down and at a later date speak to them and show them why they were wrong. On the other hand you can apologize and follow up the matter with a team leader or manager. All solutions to that problem start with an apology. Sometimes you have to be the bigger person.
