It was so near yet so far for Bangladesh. To lose the Asia Cup by two runs is bound to haunt the team and the tears said it all. It was a gallant fight and Bangladesh have every reason to feel that they missed out on the big moment.

India and Pakistan will clash on Sunday exactly a year after they tested each other's might in the 2011 World Cup semifinal. The last time around, a loss would have meant exit of the losing team.
India returned earlier than expected from their tour Down Under and the 10 days in between must have helped the players get a good break before they embarked on the tour of Bangladesh for the Asia Cup.
Sourav Ganguly writes.
Bengal will be without key batsman Manoj Tiwary and in-form pacer Ashok Dinda but skipper Sourav Ganguly is hopeful there would be a change of luck in the Vijay Hazare one-day final clash against Mumbai on Monday.
