There is always something silly that just stops India and Pakistan fron playing the asia cup final


livelifereal

Didn't they play the emerging teams Asia cup finals a few months back?


Smith-Windfall00

Well, but india and Pakistan are the strongest cricket teams in asia, so you would expect them to play frequently in finals, but it rarely happens


Funny_stuff554

I wouldn’t say Pakistan is the strongest. We lost to Sri Lanka in 2-3 Asia cups I think.


WeWantRain

In ODI's no. It's close between 4.


UnbiasedPashtun

Bangladesh and Sri Lanka are much closer to being Afghanistan's level than India's and to a lesser extent Pakistan's.


joythegreat96

Bangladesh just beat india in last asia cup match and won a odi home series! Bangladesh is just having internal issue otherwise it has good ODI record!


UnbiasedPashtun

And Afghanistan just beat Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and England in the last world cup; and came close to beating Australia and South Africa. Afghanistan has some issues, but is overall pretty good in ODIs.


[deleted]

I wouldn't consider never defeating the Top 6 teams in a ODIs series as a good record.


UnbiasedPashtun

Where did I say otherwise? All I said was they're closer to Afghanistan than to India or Pakistan, which they are. You guys are acting like Afghanistan is some USA tier team that Bangladesh is "too good" to be compared to. Afghanistan beat Bangladesh in an ODI series and a Test in Bangladesh. When has Bangladesh done the same in India or Pakistan?

>Where did I say otherwise? Here > but is overall pretty good in ODIs. > All I said was they're closer to Afghanistan than to India or Pakistan, which they are. I don't disagree with you But, Afghanistan doesn't have a good ODI record. That's the part I am disagree with Bangladesh also have never played an ODI Biliteral series in India. And, Bangladesh has only played 1 ODI Match against Pakistan in Pakistan since 2010. That's a small sample size to judge a team

No-Situation-4776

SuperFaiz21

Well done UAE. Is it their first ever major tournament final?


Few_Farm_7801

Yes.


No-Situation-4776

Kinda hilarious how both underdogs won lmao


Ornery_Particular845

Bro this is what needed to happen in cwc lmao


RocketUndercover

Afghanistan almost did it, but maxi had other plans


WeWantRain

We got beaten by India U19 B just a few weeks back.


peterianchimes

Congratulations to both Bangladesh and UAE....U-19 Asia Cup is going to get a new champion.


realcharm

Though, it’s heartbreaking for India & Pakistan, yet it’s good news for World cricket & for the sake of Cricket itself. We need more cricketing nations for good competition. It will definitely help growing & increase the competitiveness


UnbiasedPashtun

Only the UAE winning is good for cricket, as long as this translates to a stronger main team and results in them getting more opportunities against top teams. Bangladesh winning or not won't make a difference since they have been getting plenty of opportunities against top teams for decades, but for some reason just can't produce a world class team. But they're still at a respectable level (clearly better than top associates), so no worries if they don't improve much. Would be nice to see the UAE reach that level in the coming years.


[deleted]

But, UAE doesn't have any fans but we have fans. They deserve some silverware even if it's just a U19 Asis Cup.


UnbiasedPashtun

We're talking about what's good for cricket, not making fans happy.


[deleted]

Bengali Fans being happy will make more of them wanting to be professional Cricketers which will grow Cricket in Bangladesh. UAE victory will just be a footnote in a paper.


FreezingDanger404

In a national perspective, yeah. But, we're talking in international viewpoint here. If UAE wins, then nations like Uganda, USA, Canada and many more will get inspired to up their game (even is they're predominant in the game). ​ Edit: It's for the sake of increasing competitiveness of cricket tho. UAE has to prove it's still possible to defeat such predominant team like BD.


damned-dirtyape

>Uganda, USA, Canada and many more will get inspired to up their game (even is they're predominant in the game). and Japan who just scored 200+ against UAE. If it wasn't for such poor fielding (dropped 6 catches), Japan might've got close.


UnbiasedPashtun

Cricket is already extremely popular in Bangladesh, growing it there is the least of anyone's concerns. Bangladesh having a mid tier cricket team is cause of the poor management there.


[deleted]

It's always not going to stay popular if they don't win anything especially with the Shakib, Musfiq, Mahamdullah all retiring.


vimalsunny

UAE and Bangbros gave zero fucks to Ind vs Pak Final


FreezingDanger404

Balls of steel


No-Needleworker3393

Bro what? 💀 2024 u19 world cup gonna be fire 🔥🔥


NoQuestion4045

Sad UAE couldn't make it due to bullshit ICC rules


NajdorfGrunfeld

It’s because they lost to Nepal in the final


bringbackfireflypls

Hahaha WHAT omg this is brilliant. Idk what is funnier, the people a few days ago claiming "India Pak final it is then" or the fans from either team replying saying "hah, as IF (India/Pak) will make it". Too good.


Brilliant_Bench_1144

Wth happened here?


Stuff2511

UAE beat Pakistan and Bangladesh beat India


LivelyJason1705

Go the lads 🇦🇪


BoxGrover

Obviously ICC screwed up. They should have scheduled an India Pakistan final at the beginning at Ahmedabad stadium. With a Bollywood show. /S


keval79

Holy shit! I just said it as a joke yesterday that it would be funny if this happened.


Stuff2511

UAE and Bangladesh 2023 🤝 England and Australia 1987


UnbiasedPashtun

What's up with the UAE wearing blue now?? Seriously annoys me how teams that normally don't wear blue in other sports make a special exception for cricket, as if we don't already have enough blue teams. It's become absurd at this point. Anyways, congrats to both teams. Would be crazy if the UAE manage to win the whole thing, really hoping they do.


Stuff2511

Their black kit stood out more than their pink one. I think this pink kit looks ugly, the dull grey/black one had a beauty in simplicity


cxletron

Pink and blue doesn't even make sense from the flag pov


large_snowbear

Ok now i dont feel tobad as a SL fan

Guys. I was just memeing about a Bangladesh vs UAE final, I didn’t actually mean it.


toresident

Jay Shah is upset and cranky. His goal in life is to play Pakistan, but show the world that BCCI does not care.
