Full commentary
This is Pakistan's first ever 10-wicket win in Asia Cup history and perhaps the most one-sided match of the tournament. Pakistan decimated a team low on confidence with a fine all-round effort, fashioned by Abdur Rauf, Iftikhar Anjum, Salman Butt and Nasir Jamshed. A word of praise for Saeed Ajmal as well. I suppose we're going to see a lot more of him in the near future at least.
Stay with us for the presentation.
Those who missed the action today can watch the highlights on Cricinfo TV in a few hours. This is for USA users only.
Here's Mohammad Ashraful: "The wicket was good, a little slow. Me and Tamim had a good partnership but I suddenly got out. I thought we played pretty good cricket in the last two games before this. Raqibul and Kapali batted well in this tournament."
Abdur Rauf is the Man of the Match for his 3 for 24.
Shoaib Malik: "The bowlers did their job and the openers batted brilliantly. I have no problem batting anywhere. I was struggling a bit (dehydration) but I had four drips. We made a few mistakes, against Sri Lanka, which was why we didn't qualify for the final. We're looking ahead to the Champions Trophy. I wish India and SL best of luck for the final."
Thanks for joining us. The final's coming up in a couple of days. I'm hoping, for a change, the teams play in similar conditions. The final should ideally be a good contest between bat and ball.
On behalf of Binoy George, this is Kanishkaa signing off. Cheers!
