Asia Cup!

We just had a mini-series to get ourselves warmed up after the Twenty20 IPL and I must say, great performance by Pakistani batsment in the final. They performed when it mattered!👏

Well that warm up is now out of the way and we have an Asia Cup coming up! Who do you think will be front runners/ Do you think the great India will get in to the finals again like we did last time?😃or will we loose by a couple of runs like we did before

I want to see who you would like to see win and who you think will win?😉

24th June is on its way! and I hope we have a India-Sri Lanka final again😳There will definitely be a India-Pakistan match as a fixture but I think India have some accounts to settle for them stealing that cup from us😛😆and ofcourse I love the rivalry between me and my sinhalese/tamil friends😆

We've won it twice and come in the finals twice too so I hope India can prove their point this time😳

UAE will be playing too, I dont recall them ever winning a match so ermm best of luck to them but I still hope India smash them lol.

We've got a debut from Pragyan Ohja too, he was rocking in the IPL, he has to prove himself in the Asia Cup and best of luck to him😊

Any comments are welcome.

hehehe detailed analysis maam 😆 😆 😛

India seemed to be the favourites for both the Trination series as well as the Asia Cup..but now after Pak had come out of nowhere to win the trination tournament, things seem to be different now.
I'd say we'll have another IndoPak final here..in Karachi!!!! 😛 😛 😛 ( Actually, I'm really happy that the WHOLE Asia Cup is to be played at National Stadium,Karachi!!!😛 coz since a long time, there hasn't been a major tournament here..! Plus, I'm gonna go to the stadium for lots of matches 😃 !!)
This Asia Cup is more important to Pak than to any other team..coz Pak don't have much cricket after that..actually, we dont have much this year..! Plus, Kamran Akmal is likely to b dropped from our squad..and Sarfaraz Ahmed will b given a go!!

Looking forward to it and supporting Pak all the way! 😃

Thanks for posting them 😊 👏
I have a question please?
If India and pakistan are in the same group, its not actually possible to have an India vs Pakistan final is it? 😕

Hmm nimra can answer ur question..lol 😆 ..she is a Cricket guru 😳 ...i think pak will be the favourites..coz lets not forget that all the matches will be played in pakistan and pakistan has recenetly won most of the matches in thier home ground...Nimra i agree with u..i don't want the finals to be played in my hometown lahore coz pak has hardly won any match esp finals in lahore..strange but true 😕 ... Who cares if the match will be played in lahore or karachi.. I only care about my team..I want them to win this asia cup 😳

Hmm...... Hong Kong?? I have never seen them playing cricket.

And yes, I don't know how far it is true, but I have heard that even Afghanistan has become a cricket playing nation now. Is it true?

All I can say is may the deserving team win the Cup! And..one more thing.....how is UAE under Asia??? 😕 The UAE people are into football than into cricket. I think the UAE team will be full of Indians..! Its been like that for sometime now!

yea..i also heard abt afghanistan being a cricket team..my friend told me because her family is from there..but she also told me they wont be able to play because of the people who have captured the country and wont allow people to play😕..

and yea..the UAE team will prob be full of Indians😆..though im quite surprised they're playing
