(All Asia Cup 2018 matches open post free of cost)
Right at the end of a 14-minute long press conference that chaired all six captains and quite a full house of journalists, pop came the question that had Sarfraz Ahmed chuckling. Seated to his right was Angelo Mathews, quizzed about the (in)famous previous meeting between the Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and whether that adds an ‘extra edge’ to Saturday’s game.
That fixture in question – the semifinal of the Nidahas Trophy in Sri Lanka – had rather tense moments where Bangladesh even considered boycotting the chase. There was some finger waging from reserve player Nurul Hasan, and some post-match words were said that irked Kusal Mendis. The situation didn’t turn for the worse, but it still had quite the potential to.
