Inspiration for now & beyond
Mashrafe Bin Mortaza had boldly stated prior the Asia Cup final against India that he was not so cheap that he would judge himself by a trophy.
Liton first among equals
Liton Das has been one of the more maligned junior national cricketers in Bangladesh, because the perception is that he was wasting his considerable talent with the bat.

A worthy work in progress
The morning of September 29 must have broken with some harsh light for the Bangladesh cricketers in Dubai and their loyal fans back home.
Tigers fall agonisingly short
The target was just 223 for the vaunted Indian batting that has struck fear in the hearts of bowling line-ups the world over, but that it took them till the last ball of the 50th over to complete a three-wicket win in the Asia Cup final spoke volumes of the heart Bangladesh have shown throughout the tournament.
‘Pressure lets me give back to my team’

Tigers hold their nerve in thriller
Mustafizur Rahman bowled a superb last over, conceding just four runs when eight were needed, as Bangladesh won the Asia Cup Super Four match against Afghanistan by three runs at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi yesterday.

Bangladesh batsman Mushffiqu Rahim became the third player from the country to reach 5,000 ODI runs.
‘It’s challenging, not disturbing’ – Shakib ready to face the music
The rule for two new balls to be used from both ends introduced new dimension to cricket and during their last Asia Cup game against India, Bangladesh faced the new ball from two ends with a new opening pair.

‘We’ve done it before’ – turnarounds Tigers can draw from
Bangladesh’s Asia Cup campaign hangs in the balance after their defeat to India in the first Super Four match.

Call-ups catch Imrul, Soumya off-guard

Batting in limbo sans Tamim
It is a telling statistic that even in Bangladesh's flying start to the Asia Cup on September 15, when Mushfiqur Rahim's sublime 144 authored a 137-run hammering of Sri Lanka, Bangladesh left three balls unused in their total of 261.
