Cricket: Pakistan to face India in finals of Asia Cup

# Cricket: Pakistan will face India in the T20 Asia Cup final on Sunday for the first time after their bowlers made amends for poor batting to upstage Bangladesh in an 11-run victory yesterday. Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed grabbed 3-28 as Pakistan batters were sloppy on a sticky Dubai stadium pitch in their last Super Four match, managing a modest 135-8 in 20 overs. Pakistan staged a fightback through pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf to limit Bangladesh to 124-9 in 20 overs and book their place in Sunday’s final in Dubai.
