Sudden rain accompanied with gusty winds have cast an uncertainty over the Asia Cup final match between Bangladesh and India. With incessant rain that began from 6:00pm, power is currently out at the packed Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

India are no strangers to playing in cacophony but playing in front of a raucous, partisan Bangladesh crowd in the Asia Cup final could be an altogether different experience.

Amid the joyous tumult at the Shere Bangla National Stadium, there were a few quiet voices searching for answers.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina could not control her deep passion for cricket as she came to watch the Bangladesh-Pakistan Asia Cup T20 match at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium at Mirpur.

India win both their games in the Asia Cup so far, against Bangladesh and Pakistan, Sri Lanka beat UAE but lost to Bangladesh, and another defeat will make qualification hard for them.

What was supposed to be a day of relaxation for the Bangladesh team, following a resounding victory over Sri Lanka, turned out to be a difficult one as the news of Mustafizur Rahman's injury compelled the team management to deviate slightly from their normal routine.

Over the past year, when Sri Lanka have sometimes seemed to be physically incapable of winning; habitually trading strong positions for plunging losses, Bangladesh are rising. They have unique talents, like Mustafizur Rahman and Soumya Sarkar. And they are led by talisman-warhorse Mashrafe Mortaza.

The marquee clash between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup is set to be a mouth-watering one as the teams do not play each other often enough in the international circuit thanks to the political tension between the two countries.

The Asia Cup is well underway and the popular theme song seems to be a hit among the crowds in the stadium stands.

When Bangladesh takes on UAE in their second Asia Cup T20 match this evening at Mirpur, nothing but a comprehensive win would be expected from the Tigers. The question is whether Bangladesh are clear favourites against the ICC Associate Member country in the T20 format. The defeat against India in the opener is not the reason behind that question; it is not as if all is lost following the 45-run loss.

It's difficult to recall the last time Bangladesh entered a mega event without the 'underdog' tag. They did reach the final of the Asia Cup in 2012 and they also created history by making it to the quarterfinal of the World Cup in 2015.
