Bangladesh ‘A’ suffered heartbreak in the Rising Stars Asia Cup final, losing to Pakistan ‘A’ in a dramatic Super Over after the match ended in a tie.
Both teams scored 125 runs in their allotted 20 overs, forcing the decider. Bangladesh set a target of 7 runs in the Super Over, but Pakistan chased it down with two balls to spare, sealing their third Asia Cup title.
Bangladesh’s bowlers had laid the foundation for victory earlier in the match. Inspired spells from Ripon Mondol and Rakibul Hasan bowled out Pakistan for 125, with captain Irfan Khan’s side struggling against disciplined bowling. However, Bangladesh’s batting faltered, failing to capitalize on the advantage. Despite Ripon and Saqlain’s efforts, the team could only match Pakistan’s total, leading to the Super Over showdown.
In the end, Bangladesh’s strong bowling display was undone by batting failures, leaving their dream of lifting the trophy unfulfilled.
