It's a pressure situation and yes this is 1 of their biggest tests of all. We have always been the whipping boys of the subcontinent and never have been even close against the other teams in the Asia Cup and now we're 1 win away from being in the finals which would be a huge deal.
I wouldn't say that SL are the favorites by a hundred miles though. Yes on paper they are but on current form I would say they're not. They've played matches non stop and are getting tired and injured. So they're not the obvious favorites against us like they usually are. That being said though, we still have to win against them which isn't an easy task and our buys are going to have to play good cricket in order to beat them. Now is the time to show if our boys have turned in to men finally. We always ask this question after a win but many times they've proved that their still boys. Can they prove their men this time around? We shall see.
