Watch Bangladesh Vs. India Asia Cup Cricket Final Live Stream: Start Time, Preview Of 2016 Final Rematch
The 2018 Asia Cup cricket championship all comes down to this — a rematch of the 2016 final, pitting Bangladesh against defending champions India. India is a team that has dominated the Tigers in Asia Cup play throughout the years, winning the 2016 title, played in the T20 format, by eight wickets, as CricBuzz recounts. But Bangladesh gets a shot at redemption, and to prove that they have truly arrived on the Asian subcontinental cricket scene, when they face powerhouse India in the championship match that will live stream from Dubai.
The last time the two sides met in a tournament knockout match came last year, in the second semifinal of the Champions Trophy in England, as CricBuzz records. India took that match by nine wickets. And in the opening match of this year’s Asia Cup Super Four stage, India again topped the Tigers, this time by seven wickets.
Bangladesh qualified for the final despite losing both opening batsman Tamim Iqbal and world-elite all-rounder Shakib al Hasan to injuries, according to India’s NDTV. But India has played the entire tournament without star and Captain Virat Kohli, who is being held out for purposes of rest, and yet have made it to the final and done so without losing a single match. Only a tie with Afghanistan dents their record in the 2018 competition.
