DUBAI: Pakistan will face India in the Asia Cup final for the first time after their bowlers made amends for poor batting to upstage Bangladesh in an 11-run victory on Thursday. Bangladesh fast bowler Taskin Ahmed grabbed 3-28 as Pakistan batters were sloppy on a sticky Dubai stadium pitch in their last Super Four match, managing a modest 135-8 in 20 overs. Pakistan staged a fight back through pacers Shaheen Shah Afridi (3-17) and Haris Rauf (3-33) to keep Bangladesh down to 124-9 in 20 overs and book a place in Sunday’s showpiece against India. Shamim Hossain top-scored for Bangladesh with a 25-ball 30 and Saif Hassan scored 18. Pakistan’s second win in the Super Four stage set them up for a third encounter against archrivals India. They have lost both previous meetings with their neighbors so far in the tournament, with the two matches marred by controversy. India players refused to shake hands with Pakistan after the first game and the two sides also did not shake hands after the second. Pakistan skipper Salman Agha said he looks forward to meeting India again. “We are very excited,” said Agha.

NICE: More than 100 Roma supporters have been arrested in Nice ahead of Wednesday’s Europa League match between the two teams. A violent altercation broke out Tuesday night and objects were thrown at police officers, while Nice fans reportedly riled up their Roma counterparts by chanting “there’s only Lazio in Rome.” Lazio are Roma’s fierce rival in the Italian capital. The two sets of fans reportedly never came into contact as they couldn’t breach the police lines. “A force of more than 200 personnel, including two mobile units, has been deployed in the city center of Nice since yesterday, to prevent any disturbance of public order and has arrested 102 individuals identified as Roma ultras in possession of weapons,” read a statement by the region’s prefecture. “These individuals have been taken into custody ...
