Bangladesh can still reach Asia Cup Final 2014

[Jadukor]

Sri Lanka looks very balanced and battle hardened right now. Only concern they will have is how to get Kohli out early

Who did we lose the first game against? There were only four teams involved. BAN, IND, PAK and SRL.

We beat IND, SRL and lost to PAK in the final.

If SL beats India today, will it cost us the final?

[meazz1]

^^ Don't care but I will take India on the loosing end any day!

Pak in both instances. The last one was simply a choke job.

[Ace of BD]

equation has become much simpler now, win all three remaining games, even by 1 run, and just hope pak beats india. whatsoever, sl winning today has kept our chances very much alive.

[syedmahm]

Sorry bhai. We haven't won any match in this year. The whole team looks broke except Mushi and we are still thinking of reaching the final. I would be happy if BD can beat AFG.

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Didn't Pakistan gain an extra point for beating Afghanistan by a huge margin?

Ah! Yes! Now I remember, vaguely though. Thanks.

A lot depends on Mushy's fitness. We should be able to beat AFG may be not the bonus point. If Mushy is fit I don't see why we can't beat the other teams. Shakib will be available soon. We need someone to lift the spirit of our chinned-down boys in the dressing room. The coach has taken the initiative already according to cr@p info. The only other person I can count on to boost the moral is Mash. He's a natural leader and a fighter. If we win tomorrow and when Shakib comes back to the squad that might also lift our mood.

We just need to win rest of the games and hope PAK beats IND. SRL and BAN in the final

so can we still reach the final?

i guess...

what if Pakistan beats India and than we beat Pakistan and Sri Lanka? Sri Lanka will have won 3, India will have won 2, Pakistan 2, us 2 and Afghanistan 1. Of course, it would help if the contest between Afghanistan- Sri Lanka and Afghanistan- India remains close.

Lol...people still drooling on this

What if Bangladesh beats Pakistan and Srilanka so handsomely that we get bonus points from both the matches? .... since we are in the "what if" discussion, what if Razzak gets 20 wickets in 2 matches, Mushfiq becomes the Imran Khan of captaincy and our fast bowlers bowl at 160km/h? Yes I can see hope... we are definitely going to win the cup now!

What if Shakib shows his banana and gets banned for life ?
What if Anamul finally realizes he has feet ?
What if Mushy attacks batsmen with attacking field and right bowlers after we pick up early wickets ?
What if more than one BD batsman make a century?
What if Akram Khan and Athar Ali Khan come to bat wearing T-shirts of Tamim and Anamul ?

Actually looking at the points table, if we could beat both teams with a bonus point then we are in. Also if Afghanistan can fend off India without a bonus point then all we would need to do is beat Pakistan with a bonus point and beat Sri Lanka normally. So technically there is a chance although it is mighty slim.

Beating both team marginally wouldn't get us anywhere unfortunately.

Not for me this time KP. The only way for our boys to make amends to this situation is to make it to the final by either one of the scenario. They screwed up royally and now they better work their butts off to fix this.

Absolutely! It is still possible. If we win the remaining games with a bonus point then we will have 10 points, Pakistan will have 9 and if India beats Afghanistan even with a bonus point then they will have 9 points.

What actually will happen: We will fail miserably in both matches and moan about players commitments and captaincy and selectors.
