Misbah Upbeat about Asia Cup Final

Pakistani captain, Misbah ul Haq, gave the press an interview and seemed extremely happy about reaching the final of the Asia Cup. Pakistani team managed to pull off several surprises for their opponents throughout the competition and that is why they are favourites to win the tie.

Pakistan’s first game was against Sri Lanka, the same team they are going to play in the final. Even though the match was closely contested, Pakistan lost with only 12 runs remaining.

The second game was against Afghanistan and a superb innings by Umar Akmal helped Pakistan win that match.

Later on the Pakistani team faced India, their arch rivals in terms of cricket. Even though odds were against the Pakistanis, a superb performance by Shahid Afridi helped Pakistan win the match on the last two balls as Afridi hit two sixes in a row.

Their last game was against Bangladesh and Afridi was once against the nation’s hero. He was able to score a half century in less than 20 balls in order to chase a record target set by the Bangladeshi team.

Now Misbah is happy about being in the final as they will be facing Sri Lanka. He is confident that the Pakistani team can win the match.
