India has been a hot team - so i think they will wind up winning the cup - Sure Sri Lanka has been a tough to beat at home but can they live up to that after being send packing - demorilized by the Aussies?

Hong Kong

if greece can win euro than I don't see why U.A.E can not win asia cup.

Come on guys lets make serious prediction. On the basis of their current performances India must be the favourite to win this tournament. As usual I will be rooting for Pakistan and hoping that they win.

what are you talking about..'Hamari Galli ki nukar kay players' can also take on the indian team
:D

You would have to heavily favour India. They are in form and confident. I think Sri Lanka will be ok as well, since they are playing against such a high level of competition right now(Aussies). Obviously this would leave us as third on the rankings. I think a more interesting question would be - Can Bangladesh beat us in an ODI in this tournament?
They did it in the '99 World Cup (granted that match was likely fixed). But they may finally have the talent to be marginally competitive on the world stage. They may just be able to beat Pakistan now that our team is out of form.
But then again going on past credentials Pakistan could go undefeated and win the tournament, our team really is that unpredictable.

India ready for Asia Cup: Wright](http://uk.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/CRICKET_NEWS/2004/JUL/008856_ASIA2004_04JUL2004.html)

With the Asia Cup only days away, John Wright has fired the first salvo for India, warning opponents that the team has been thorough in its preparation for the upcoming tournament.

“We have done various research on the opposition teams,” he said. “Particularly, we concentrated on Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Our computer analyst has been of great help. He is providing us data and information on the opposition bowlers and batsmen, besides [on] our own players.”

After the tour of Pakistan, India had a three-month layoff from the game, but a series of camps were held to ensure the players stayed fit and match-ready. Wright addressed the issue about India’s batting line-up.

“Various people will have various opinions on an issue, but it eventually boils down to the captain as to who should do what,” Wright said, referring to the players’ publicly aired views about India’s openers. “Both [Aakash Chopra and Yuvraj Singh] are outstanding players, no doubt. But if you ask me, frankly I would say the selectors select the team and the captain desides who should bat where. The selectors, vice-captain and myself, as coach, will give our advice, but it’s the captain who will decide the batting order.”
