Player to Watch
It goes without saying that Shakib Al Hasan is Bangladesh's star all-rounder. He showed that he will be one of the key assets in the tournament with three wickets and finishing off the innings with the bat. When Al Hasan does well, Bangladesh generally do well.
Nepal's captain Paras Khadka took just one game to capture the hearts of cricket fans. During last year's qualifiers he scored 232 runs in ten games and picked up 11 wickets to boot. He was the second-highest run scorer for Nepal in the tournament and his influence and experience will be key for his side's charge.
