The classy right-handed batsman needs to play out of his skins to keep Indian bowlers away from the wickets column. A lot was expected from the youngster ahead of the tournament, and it is the chance for him write his name in golden words in the Asia Cup records book.

2. Soumya Sarkar –

The stylish southpaw had made a comeback into the team in the last game but unfortunately, registered a duck. However, he had got the knack of bowling economic overs and pick the wickets for his skipper. Probably, he will once again take the field against India in the all-important game to face the new cherry.

3. Mominul Haque –

Another left-handed batsman Mominul Haque will get a go in the final of the Asia Cup 2018. The flamboyant batsman has been impressive in the super four clashes but failed to carry on the form against Pakistan. However, the team management would hope him come good against India.

4. Mushfiqur Rahim –

The in-form batsman who is carrying the Bangladesh batting burden on his shoulders. He has been fantastic throughout the tournament and needs to give his best for one last time to lift the coveted trophy. With Shakib and Tamim not being around, the pressure on Mushfiqur is sky-high. His performance will make an impact on the result as well.

5. Mohammad Mithun –

Mithun is the find of the tournament for Bangladesh. Perhaps, the only cricketer in Asia Cup 2018, who used the platform to the perfection. He stood tall for his team when it mattered the most for the team in crucial junctures of the tournament. The team management would like to ask the youngster to hold his nerve for one last time in the final.
