Pakistan expects a "tough" final match against Bangladesh

Senior Pakistan batsman Younis Khan paid respect to Bangladesh for its gutsy performances and expected a hard-fought final.
Khan says Bangladesh's teamwork is "tremendous," and the team has demonstrated a "great strength" to chase any big total. He said that the Green Shirts contemplate a tough final match against the Bengal Tigers Thursday.
On the other hand, Bangladesh skipper  Mushfiqur Rahim is confident he can lead Bangladesh to an historic victory when it plays in its first Asia Cup final against Pakistan at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Thursday.

Rahim says, "We are now so close and do not want to lose the chance."
Bangladesh beat both World Cup finalists, champion India and Sri Lanka, to reach the final, and lost to Pakistan by 21 runs in the round-robin.
