Rain can disrupt today's match between Bangladesh and Srilanka. I feel that the ACC should have given this match also the same preference like the match between India and Pakistan but, that will extend the schedule of this tournament. I am hoping that today's match doesn't get abandoned. The frustration of cricket fans like me of not being able to enjoy a cricket match because of rain interruption is now making this tournament unenjoyable.
I think Srilanka has a good chance against Bangladesh today. They are quite good when they are playing in their home ground. Bangladesh team has become unpredictable and unreliable.

I will place India and Pakistan ahead to win the Asia Cup title. Because the players of these two teams are all performing extremely well and these players are really experienced. And we hope to see a great competitive match between India and Pakistan in the Asia Cup.
Agreed. At this point both India and Pakistan seems far ahead of the other two teams in Super-4. BTW, weather conditions are a concern. India vs Pakistan match is scheduled for 10th September, at Colombo and heavy rains are ongoing there at the moment. I don't know whether the match will get completed or not. Yesterday the ACC decided to continue hosting the matches in Colombo, rather than moving them to Hambantota or Dambulla. I was quite surprised by this decision. Colombo is pretty much inundated right now as a result of heavy rains.
Bangladesh will play the second match of Super Four against Sri Lanka today. Sri Lanka are high on confidence after winning two matches in the group stage. Sri Lanka will definitely be ahead in the equation of the Asia Cup matches against Bangladesh. Bangladesh has done extremely badly in two of the last three matches. Full points will go to those who do well in today's match.
You are right. Yesterday's match was too easy for the Pakistan team because Bangladesh's performance in this match was too bad because they gave only 193 runs targets which was too easy for any team to chase down this target. Pakistan's bowling performance was incredible, especially Haris Rauf. He bowled 6 overs and took 4 wickets against the Bangladesh team and also player of the match goes to Haris Rauf. One of the other players Naseem Shah's bowling performance was also incredible he also took 3 wickets and bowled 5.4 overs. If we look at the previous match performance of Bangladesh then they also did a bad performance in batting as well as Bowling. Now let's see the next match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh on 9 September.
Bangladesh made the big mistake by opting to bat first, against a premium pace battery from Pakistan. And by the first 10 overs, they found themselves in deep trouble, after being reduced to 47/4. Fortunately for Bangladesh, the Pakistani captain was too defensive. Rather than sticking with Haris Rauf, he opted for Faheem Ashraf and Shadab Khan, which allowed Shakib and Mushfiqur to build a good partnership for the 5th wicket. If Babar had decided to use Haris or Naseem instead of the slower bowlers, then I doubt whether Bangladesh would have reached three digits.

First of all, there is no guarantee that we will get an outcome from today's match. Heavy rains are predicted and there is a 77% chance of thunderstorms. And even if Sri Lanka wins the match today, there is no guarantee that they will qualify for the final. In order to do that, they need to defeat either India or Pakistan in the upcoming matches. Now coming to Bangladesh, there is almost zero chance that they would qualify for the final. They need to defeat both India and Pakistan in order to do that. And given their current form, it is very unlikely.
Breaking!
It seems that the ACC has sensed the frustration of cricket fans and took the right decision. If the match between India and Pakistan is not played due to the rain on September 10th then the match will resume on September 11th. Such decision could have been avoided if the tournament could have been organised in Dubai. I think they should reserve an extra day for all the Super 4 matches in this tournament. This decision might have come due to the pressure of the broadcaster. Otherwise ACC was looking least bothered if any match got abandoned or interrupted due to rain.

Why only for India and Pakistan? Ideally ACC should have given preference to the host country matches. Only picking up the match between India and Pakistan points that they don't care about other teams and their participation. They are organizing this series to benefit the broadcasting company. This is discrimination at it's lowest level and a way to put forward that except India and Pakistan matches, other matches are not that worthy to get a reserve day. Already, ACC moved the tournament from the actual host, then they went ahead and disagreed with Pakistan on hosting matches in UAE. Now, the bamboo came from Star TV & Hotstar and they flipped just like a coin falling on to the feet. Ofcourse it looks like ACC stoop to those who paid them huge for broadcasting rights of the tournament. The worst is that the host board has not come up publicly about this special gesture and neither did other boards participating in this tournament are questioning it.

So instead of spending 7-8 hours on a 50-over match, we are gong to spend 2 days? I am not sure how many people would be OK with that. The world is fast moving, and that is one of the reasons why T20I format is so popular now. ODI is slowly dying because fans simply doesn't have half a day to spare on the matches. And if they spread out the matches across two days (one being a working day), how it is going to work? The problem is that ACC bosses decided on the schedule without having any regard for the fans. And this will hit their revenue next time, when they auction the TV/OTT rights.
Nothing can be done now as the matches would be played in Srilanka. I agree on the point that rain interruption are frustrating and you tend to lose interest when it happens multiple times. I am hoping that match between India & Pakistan goes smoothly on September 10th. Rain should not play a spoil sport this time. The last match between these two got a abandoned due to rain.

Due to rain, there is zero interest left in the Asia Cup. It was better to shift Asia Cup to either UAE or call it off once BCCI refused to play in Pakistan. The Asia Cup is moving only on stats as not many games are played due to rain. Till now there is only one game in super four between Pakistan and Bangladesh which Pakistan won comfortably. SL has more chances of making it to super four then Bangladesh.

Now Bangladesh is facing a difficult equation to go to the final of the Asia Cup. There are matches against Sri Lanka and India. Will the Tigers be able to play the final of the 16th edition of the Asia Cup? The Bangladesh team will play against Sri Lanka on September 9 and India on September 15 after the Super Four. If they win these two matches, the Tigers will advance a lot on the way to the finals. Meanwhile, the game has ended in the host country of Pakistan. The remaining six matches including the final and Super Four will be held in Colombo. But the weather information there says that Colombo can be flooded with rain every day until September 17. However, due to the rain there is already uncertainty about the match. According to the schedule, the final of the 16th Asia Cup will be held on September 17 at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Five matches of the Super Four are also scheduled to be held at that venue. If the final match is also rained out, the champion trophy will be shared between the two finalist teams.

The first match between India and Pakistan in the group stage was abandoned in a match that Pakistan had a good chance of winning. The first match of the Super Four between India and Pakistan will be played on the 10th with a high chance of rain. If rain continues to be more of a problem then the management should change the venue of the India Pakistan match.

Bangladesh's run rate was very good but lost wickets quickly. If Bangladesh could have played the full 50 overs, they would probably have gone over 270 runs. Then their chances of winning the match would be high. Bangladesh have a really big challenging match against India. Because India is a strong cricket team and they play very well in almost every match. So Bangladesh now has to take very good preparation for the next matches and the next 2 matches should be played very carefully to win the match. Otherwise, Bangladesh will be eliminated in the Super Four match.
There is no point in looking at the run-rate, when Bangladesh was losing wickets at regular intervals. At one point they were 47/4, before Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim managed to add some runs for the 5th wicket partnership. At this point, the run rate was around 6 runs per over. But what is the point when so many wickets are being lost? And once the two established batsmen got out, none of the lower order batsmen contributed anything. Pakistan cleaned up the lower order and tail without much effort and chased down the runs with more than 10 overs to spare.
Since Pakistan has won the first match there are rumors that the Indian board is considering changing the venue of the matches to prevent Pakistan from reaching the final. Because where the matches are scheduled according to the weather report there is a 70% chance of rain in all matches except the final match of Asia Cup

You are right.

Bangladesh confirmed the Super Four in the current Asia Cup with a big win over Afghanistan. However, the Tigers had a bitter taste of defeat against Pakistan in their first Super Four match in the fight for continental supremacy. Shakib Bahini was defeated by 7 wickets due to the failure of the batsmen in the bowling ball of Pak pacers. Bangladesh will play against Sri Lanka in the super four match on Saturday (September 9). R. of Colombo. The match will start at 3:30 pm Bangladesh time at Premadasa Stadium. There is no option to win this match to keep the dream of the final alive. In such a match, there is a good possibility of changes in Bangladesh's XI. Naeem Sheikh and Miraj can be seen in the opening of the Bangladesh team in the match against Pakistan. It is important to change that opening in the match against Sri Lanka. Despite scoring a brilliant century in Mirage's opener against Afghanistan, he is still not quite ready to face the new ball against a good bowling line-up.

Having said that i am noticing a pattern with the Pakistani bowling attack. They are overwhelmingly relying on Pace only, it could backfire against them on slow wickets or if the opposition manages to see off this Pace Trio.
