3 reasons why Bangladesh can win the 2018 Asia Cup

#1 Mashrafe Mortaza's captaincy

Mortaza's presence of mind has impressed many pundits

With unparalleled dedication both in fielding and with the ball, Mashrafe Mortaza is the ideal cricketer one should take inspiration from. Besides the other two mentioned attributes, he has also impressed with his clever captaincy. From precise field placements to effective bowler roatations, Mortaza has ticked all check-boxes.

Against Pakistan, he started the innings with spinner Mehidy Hasan, who picked up the crucial wicket of Fakhar Zaman. When Imam-ul-Haq and Asif Ali were taking Pakistan towards victory and game was slipping away from Bangladesh's hands, Mortaza recalled his spinners. While Mehidy Hasan claimed the wicket of Asif Ali, Mahmudullah took the match-defining wicket of Imam-ul-Haq. Mortaza's captaincy might prove to be a major factor in the all important final against India.
