5 questions facing India in the Asia Cup final

India have literally cruised their way into the final of the first ever T20 World Cup. On the road to the final, the Indian team annihilated the other 4 teams in the tournament, including their opponents in the final, Bangladesh.The hosts, on the other hand, have also made it to the summit clash with relative ease, with the loss to India in the opening encounter being their only setback. Things may be appearing to be perfect for Team India on the surface, considering their unbeaten run in the tournament.However, there are a few issues which they may need to address on the D-day. Here are 5 important questions facing the Indians in the Asia Cup final:

#5 Will MS Dhoni use his part-time spinners?

MS Dhoni has used Yuvraj Singh quite effectively with the ball since his return

Indian skipper MS Dhoni has never had any inhibitions about using part-time spinners throughout his successful captaincy career. However, it will be interesting to see whether Dhoni will stick to this strategy in a match as important as the Asia Cup final.

With Hardik Pandya completing his quota of 4 overs in almost every match, the seamers are almost sure to bowl 12 overs in the match. Adding Ashwin's 4  overs to this figure will take care of 16 overs in the Bangladesh innings.

If Dhoni wants to get an over in from Yuvraj Singh or Suresh Raina, he may have to cut down Jadeja's quota to 3 overs. Whether the part-timers will be used or not will also depend a lot on how the frontline bowlers perform on the night.
