Pakistan received their first win over UAE on Monday defeating them by 7 wickets. Though Sri Lanka and Pakistan have not been at their best, but it will be daft to write them off. Bangladesh are slowly picking the pace after successful win against Sri Lanka, gaining the second spot in the points table. On the other hand, Sri Lanka are coming off a 1-2 thrashing in India and they will be bolstered by the return of the senior players.
Following their defeats against Bangladesh, both Pakistan and Sri Lanka have been eliminated from the tournament. India and Bangladesh will clash in the final on March 6, 2016.
