The 16th edition of the Asia Cup began on August 30,2023. In light of the World Cup, the current year's release is the one-day version. Bangladesh entered the field on the second day of the opposition. On that day, the group drove by Shakib Al Hasan confronted Sri Lanka at the Pallekele Stadium in Kandy. Tragically, the Bangladesh cricket team lost against Sri Lanka on that day.

For the first time, two nations are hosting the Asia Cup. Four matches will be coordinated in Pakistan. Sri Lanka will have the excess nine. The whole occasion should be held in Pakistan yet India isn't willing to go to the country because of political struggles. So the Asian Cricket Committee (ACC) has facilitated the two nations in a crossover model.

It ought to be noticed that out of the past 15 releases of the Asia Cup, two have been in the T20 version. The leftover 13 were ODI releases. Bangladesh didn't play in just a single occasion of the Asia Cup. India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka were the three groups in the debut release of the opposition what began in 1984. Bangladesh has been taking part constantly beginning around 1986.

Bangladesh has played in the Asia Cup last multiple times regardless of not having the flavor of bringing home the championship. They were other participants two times in ODI version (2012 and 2018) and once in T20 release (2016).However, Bangladesh lost in the final of Asia Cup 2018. There are very few cricket lovers who did not cry then. Shakib Al Hasan after the defeat that day. Mushfiqur Rahim, another Tiger cricketer, was crying with his face pressed inside his chest. Still watching any old video of that match gives me goosebumps. That day was one of the worst days in Bangladesh cricket.

Regardless, losing is a piece of every single game. My country's cricket is moving forward accepting everything. In this year's Asia Cup, Bangladesh team lost against Sri Lanka in their group stage game. The next match was against Afghanistan. As usual my team secured the Super Four by one win without beating the whole country.

A match of Super Four has already been held, where Bangladesh played against another superpower Pakistan. We lost very badly that day. Today, Asia Cup 2023, the 2nd match of Super Four phase will be held. Bangladesh will face Sri Lanka again. Bangladesh to survive in the tournament. The match must be won.

We Bengalis can spread hope even from the edge of the abyss. Just as we gained independence in 1971 through a bloody war, the golden boys of my country will surely win the World Cup in cricket one day. Such a hope belongs to every Bengali as a cricket crazy nation.

Good luck Team Tigers.

Thanks
