The defending champion Sri Lanka is disappointed with their loss against Bangladesh by 23 runs & this had made their chances to the final in doubt. The team needs to work on their batting.

The Pakistani batsman’s inconsistency is a major concern of the team which make them to lose their first match of the tournament against India by 5 wickets.

Pakistan has played 2 matches in the tournament so far. The team had to face defeat by 5 wickets from their rivalry team India. Though the team was able to secure a win in the tournament but it was against the minnows UAE. Mohammad Amir is doing great with the ball but the thing which is alarming for Pakistan is their batting line up. The early fall of the wicket gives chance to the opponent team to override the match.

Bangladesh last match win in Asia Cup against Sri Lanka will surely help to team to get motivated and keep them in the race to finals. Though the team has lost to India by 45 runs in the first match, but their win against UAE and Sri Lanka is a proof that this team is very capable of making wonders at any point of the match.

Pakistan in their very first match of the tournament against rivalry team India has crumbled down making a very low total of 83 runs to be chased by the opponent. India defeated Pakistan by five wickets in hand. The beginning for the Pakistan team has not been good. Though their batsman has disappointed their fans a lot but the bowlers were the highlights of their team, specially Mohammed Amir whose devastating spell made it hard to India for an easy win.

UAE had lost their both matches against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in the tournament till now. The team is doing well in bowling but need to work in batting department. Though UAE team is considered minnows in the tournament, but  looking the current form of Pakistan team, we can expect a healthy match between the two.

Bangladesh is the team which has impressed everyone with their performances in international cricket last year 2015. The team won series against India, South Africa and Pakistan.

The will be led by captain Amjad Javed

Sri Lanka, the defending champion 2014, will like to win their first match with a great margin to boost themselves and come back into the winning platform. Since the last two series against India and New Zealand were a disastrous for them as they lost both the series in the absence of their senior players Lasith Malinga, Nuwan Kulasekara, Angelo Mathews and Rangana Herath. The return of their senior players back into the playing squad will increase the morale of the team. The top order batsman Dilshan will be the key player with the middle order batsman Chamara Kapugedara and Anglo Mathews. Huge shots round the boundaries are much expected from the bat of Thisara Parera and Mathews.

The only good thing for Sri Lanka against India series was the impressive bowling by their youngster Dushmantha Chameera. If he is included in the playing XI, the bowling will be strengthened more.

On the other hand United Arab Emirates (UAE) has surprised everyone by qualifying for Asia Cup 2016. UAE secured their qualification against Hong Kong, Oman and Afghanistan. Though the team has made their way to qualification with an all round performance but their further journey in Asia Cup 2016 will not be the easy one as they have to compete with the few of the top World teams.

Since T20 format of the cricket is a game of uncertainties, we can only expect UAE to give a strong competition to five times champion Sri Lanka.

Previous Performance of Sri Lanka in Asia Cup –

The defending Champion has been playing in Asia Cup since the first tournament in 1984. Sri Lanka  have won the championship 5 times (1986, 1997, 2004, 2008, 2014). They have played 48 matches, won 34 and lost 14 with winning percentage of 70.83.

 Previous Performance of UAE in Asia Cup –  

UAE has qualified only two times for Asia Cup in 2004 and 2008. The team had played 4 group matches and lost all. But this time Asia Cup is being played in T20 format in which they have won all three matches in qualifier round.
