Tigers confident in must-win match



The Tigers are confident as they took to the field against Sri Lanka in a do or die match to qualify for the final of the Asia Cup at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium
Today.
Seamer Mashrafe Mortaza conceded only one run in the opening over as the crowd cheer the home side for a win which would confirm a berth of Asia Cup final for the first time.
Winning the toss, Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim invited Sri Lanka to bat first.
If Sri Lanka win, India will qualify for the final.
Pakistan have already secured its berth for the final with nine points while Sri Lanka are out of the race failing earn any point so far.
If Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka with a bonus point, they will have a point more than India and will qualify for the final.
Even if they win without a bonus point, the Tigers will be level on eight points with India, and will go through, courtesy of the win over them in league stage.
But if Sri Lanka win, India will be through and will take on archrivals Pakistan.
