The day has finally come when the world will witness a new cricketing champion of Asia. The defending champions India will take on the previous runner-up Bangladesh today at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
India have won the title for 6 times in the past and this year, they are in the finale for the 10th time. They have been the favourites in the tournament and were the first team to book a berth in the finals. The top order has shown class performances so far while the middle order remains intact with the players like Jadhav, Rayudu, Karthik and Dhoni.
The onus of taking quick wickets will depend on the two speedsters – Bumrah and Bhuvneshwar but all eyes will be on the spin trio, comprising Jadeja, Kuldeep and Chahal. They will again look to hunt in pair and trouble the opposition.
As far as the Bangladesh side is concerned, they must be high on confidence after knocking out Pakistan. However, they were seen reeling against India in the previous encounter. Hopefully, they come prepared to tackle India’s spin attack which they failed to do in the Super Four encounter.
