KUDOS TEAM INDIA FOR THE CREDIBLE VICTORY

India clinched the Asia Cup trophy beating the hosts by 8 wickets and thus establishing their supremacy in the subcontinent (Perfect fillip before the World Cup, March 7). Both Dhawan and Kohli had a shade of luck as the bouncing and seaming deliveries troubled the side. A few near misses turn the tables in favour of Team India Team India did not show their victorious celebrations as the crowd were left spellbound in disbelief. Bangladesh tried out a bowler, playing first match of the tournament in the crucial final. The seasoned all-rounder of Bangladesh team Shakib Al Hassan failed to put up a big score with the bat and bowled two expensive overs when the situation was very tight. A more positive approach of the side by the left-hander could have made a match of it in the end. Dhawan deservingly won the man of the match award and S Rahman the man of the series award. Congratulations to Team India, which under the able captain MS Dhoni, won the Asia Cup. The performance of entire Indian team and each player was magnificent They outplayed their It was delightful to see captain MS Dhoni finish the final match in style — the way he usually does in such crunch situations — scoring 20 runs in just 6 balls to bring home the Asia Cup, a forerunner for the World Cup. The never-say-die hosts, playing on their homeground with the locals cheering them hysterically, gave everyone his money’s worth by scoring steadily at 7 runs an over and stretching the total from 75 to a challenging 120, Rahman and Mahmudullah remaining unbeaten with 32 and 33 runs respectively. It was undoubtedly the best match in the series so far and if Team India maintains this form, the World Cup can be ours.
