Dhaka: Mar 20, 2012
Bangladesh captain Mushfiqul Rahim has won the toss and elected to bowl first in the sixth One-Day International of the Asia Cup against Sri Lanka in Dhaka on Tuesday.
Millions of Indian cricket fans will be praying for a Sri Lankan victory when the islanders take on hosts Bangladesh on Tuesday in their last league match, the result of which will determine India’s fate in the Asia Cup cricket tournament.
The Indians recorded their highest run-chase ever to pull off an extra-ordinary victory over arch rivals Pakistan yeserday, riding on Virat Kohli blistering 183 off 148 balls to keep themselves in the hunt for a place in the final.
But Sunday’s win alone is not enough for the defending champions to seal their place for Thursday’s summit clash as India’s fate now entirely depends on how Sri Lanka perform.
