This year’s Asia Cup 2018 finals is perhaps the most unforeseen and unexpected event to take place in the history of cricket. Nobody saw this coming. It’s India against Bangladesh.
Almost all professionals and fans had expected it to be a final between the two rivals India and Pakistan. The sudden turn of events has surely led to an anticipated final which was previously out of the question.
In the last match, Bangladesh produced an unimaginable result. They were in top form in their match against Bangladesh. The first match of the Asia Cup 2018 was between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in which Bangladesh won by 137 runs.
In the next match, Bangladesh lost to Afghanistan, who were considered to be the new underdogs, until they lost to Pakistan. Next, they faced India and lost again by 7 wickets. They will be hoping not to repeat the same scenario. In their next match with Afghanistan, Bangladesh took revenge and won by 3 runs. In their surprising last match, Bangladesh held on for dear life and won by 37 runs.
India on the other hand, had an almost clean win streak. In their first match against Hong Kong, they won by 26 runs. In their second match against Pakistan, they won again by 8 wickets. The Bangladesh match was also a win for India. The fourth win came at the defeat of Pakistan again, this time, by nine wickets. Their last match with Afghanistan was tied. Thus, India did not lose a single match in the entire event and climbed to the Asia Cup 2018 finals with relative ease.
