Anger: Bangladesh seek to reverse result final
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.”

Asking to reverse the decision, 48 hours after the match?
Stupidity of epic proportions !
@Chengez HAH HAHA!!!
Master stroke by Indian RAW.........it seems Indians were unnerved by the tremendous love shown by th pakistani for their Bengali brothers & vice verca......terms like younger brother....etc. must have crushed the spirits of enemies of Pak Bangla relations
Bangladesh board should read the rules. The batsman is not supposed to run in mid wicket but off the center of the pitch, Cheema was where he was. And by this notion Pakistan should get five runs for blocking Afridi.
