Let us look at the 5 best moments from this year's Asia Cup.

#5 Sami\'s disastrous no-balls leading to a famous Bangladeshi win

Sami's recall to the Pakistani team has naturally been treated with a lot of scepticism from some quarters and the veteran pacer has not done much to dispel such doubts. He has looked the weakling in the Pakistani attack beside the likes of Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Irfan.

But he ended all hopes of Pakistan making it to the final by bowling a disastrous 19th over in a crucial tie against Bangladesh. Sami came on to bowl with Bangladesh needing 18 runs to win off 12 balls. Sami's first three balls were decent deliveries but ended by conceding 15 runs off that over.

He bowled two no-balls in that over one of which was edged by Mortaza for a boundary. The match decisively tipped the scales in favour of Bangladesh and effectively knocked Pakistan out of the Asia Cup.

Sami has received a lot of flak for the no-balls that cost Pakistan the match. But it was a great moment of pride and honour for Mortaza's men as they took another step towards the much-coveted trophy.
