DHAKA:


Bangladesh will ask the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to review an incident in the final over of the Asia Cup final against Pakistan which they believe cost them the game.


Pakistan won by two runs but Enayet Hossain Siraj, chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) cricket operations committee, said that Aizaz Cheema had deliberately blocked batsman Mahmudullah in the final over.

“We’ve seen video footage of the incident repeatedly and it’s clear that Cheema blocked Mahmudullah deliberately,” said Siraj.                “We’ll lodge a written appeal to the ACC very soon and will also give a copy to the International Cricket Council.”
