The result means Bangladesh reached the final of Asia Cup for only the second time in their history. Shoaib Malik and Imam-ul-Haq tried to steady the ship with a partnership of 67 for the fourth wicket but that was brought to a spectacular end by Mashrafe Mortaza. The catch that Bangladesh captain took belied both his age and the number of knee injuries that Bangladesh captain has had throughout his career. Both notched up their respective half-centuries and stitched together 100-run stand for the fourth wicket, which was their second of the tournament. During the course of their partnership, they became the first Bangladeshi pair to score century partnership for fourth wicket, after losing first three wickets for 15 or below.
