Chronicles of a heartbreak

Following is a blow-by-blow account of the key highlights from yesterday's Asia Cup final between Bangladesh and Pakistan.
TOSS: Mushfiqur Rahim has no hesitation in choosing to bowl first and chase — a formula that has worked successfully in their last two encounters
1st over: Poor start for Bangladesh as ace seamer Mashrafe bin Mortaza strays on the leg stump too often and Pakistan opener Nasir Jamshed takes full advantage with two boundaries. The signs are ominous.
4th over: Huge appeal for leg-before turned down as dangerman Mohammad Hafeez looks plumb infront to a beauty of a Nazmul Hossain delivery which seamed in and struck him infront. Umpire Gould shakes his head but the home side and fans are not convinced.
5th over: OUT! Mashrafe with the breakthrough as Jamshed fails to pick a slower one from Mashrafe and finds the waiting hand of Mahmudullah Riyad at cover. The crowd go ballistic and it's not even a full house yet.
6th over: OUT! Nazmul finally gets his man. Using his stock nipper, Shafiul Islam's replacement has the veteran Younus Khan trapped leg-before. Replays suggest a slight deviation off the inside edge. Pakistan are 19 for 2 and on the ropes.
10th over: Hafeez looks determined to make Bangladesh play. TWo superb boundaries off Nazmul; one driven past the bowler and the second glanced towards fine-leg sees him move to the 20s.
15 th over: OUT! A promising partnership between Hafeez and captain Misbah-ul Haq is nipped in the bud by some sharp fielding from Nasir Hossain whose quick pick up and throw finds Misbah short. 3 down for 55 and the crowd are in raptures.
22nd over: OUT! A period of sustained bowling pressure pays dividends as a frustrated Hafeez tries to go for the big one and only manages to find the hands of Nazmul at mid-on. Pakistan are 70 for 4 and a real upset looks on the cards.
32nd over: 50 partnership between Umar Akmal and Hammad Azam, both of whom have played responsibly. Pakistan looks to have repaired the early damage that was caused by Bangladesh
34th over: OUT! Wicket at a bad time for Pakistan as Hammad Azam's fluent innings comes to an end as he goes for a big one but only manages a top-edge that is caught by Shakib.
35th over: OUT! And his partner Akmal follows, caught down the leg-side. Unlucky dismissal and Akmal makes his
feelings known launching into a string of expletives.
39 th over: With Pakistan on the ropes, Shahid Afridi lives up to his nickname of 'Boom Boom' as he strikes a string of boundaries. This is the pick of the lot as he absolutely carves Mashrafe over the long-off boundary for a huge and flat six.
42 nd over: Afridi goes, mistiming a full toss from Shakib to long-off where Nasir takes another sharp catch. The blaster has a little query about height but he had advanced a long way down the track. Pakistan are 178 for 7.
43rd over: Sarfraz Ahmed now takes charge cavorting Shahadat Hossain for two boundaries as Pakistan up the tempo.
50th over: Wickets fall but Sarfraz stands tall with an inventive innings. He takes full advantage of a loose last over bowled by Shahadat striking 19 runs the biggest over of the innings so far. Pakistan finish on 236 and they will be happy with the ending after an inauspicious start.
Bangladesh innings
4th over: Good start for Bangladesh as Tamim Iqbal carries over his sparkling form. Dvo stupendous boundaries off Umar Gul both through the off side as Bangladesh are off and running.
10th over: Bangladesh are 35 at the end of ten. Tamim looks imperious but worryingly, Nazimuddin looks completely out of sorts, failing to get to terms with the pace of the wicket.
17th over: WICKET! Bangladesh have moved comfortably to 68 but mostly due to Tamim who looks in supreme touch. But here Nazimuddin is finally put out of his misery falling for a painstaking 52 ball 16. The crowd don't seem to mind; if Tamim stays, an unbelievable win looks on the cards.
18th over: WICKET! It's a one-two blow as 68 for no loss quickly becomes 68 for 2. The crowd suddenly goes quiet as Saeed Ajmal bamboozles Jahurul Islam with a corker.
22nd over: WICKET! The public are stunned and belief turns rapidly to doubt as Tamim Iqbal falls victim to Umar Gul. You can hear a pin drop now. The silence is deathly.
Shakib al Hasan, always the saviour, and Nasir Hossain rebuild the innings, but the newcomer is slow to pick up the singles. There are mutterings of discontent and some sections of the crowd are not happy.
42nd over: Shakib smotes Aizaz Cheema for six over long-on. Spectacular shot from the all-rounder under immense pressure and the crowd begins to dream again. Bangladesh are 169 for 3.68 is needed off 48 but crucially the Tigers have seven wickets in hand. Seven! An improbable win looks achievable. How many overs does Ajmal have left again?
43 rd/ 44th over: Life turns on a dime. First Nasir goes for a painstaking knock, and with Mushfiqur at the crease turning singles it looks possible. But suddenly, without warning, Shakib al Hasan's cheeky attempt to flick beyond fine-leg sees his leg stump disturbed by Cheema. The silence is complete, overwhelming.
46th over: Mushfiqur Rahim is caught on the mid-wicket boundary. Game over.
47th over: Or is it? This is thrilling from Bangladesh. Mahmudullah and Mashrafe rack up 14 with the man nicknamed Braveheart slamming two boundaries. 25 needed off 18 and Bangladesh can earn an absolutely remarkable victory.
48th over: Oh! There must be heart attacks happening somewhere. Twist again as Mashrafe falls victim to a catch at short-fine leg trying a cute flick. Some say it's over, but with 19 needed off 14 who can say eh?
49th over: Who can say indeed! The Tigers smote ten runs off Gul. No boundaries but Mahmudullah and Razzak rotate strike expertly. Oh where were these singles earlier on?
50th over: It is over and Pakistan nick it. With 9 to win of 6 the valiant Tigers manage only 6. They lose by 2-runs, 2 runs. The margin is maddeningly small but heartbreakingly wide. The dream is over.
Mushfiqur is despondent, weeping into the shoulders of long-time comrade Shakib who himself looks teary-eyed. Mahmudullah cannot yet believe it and neither can the public. The crowd is shocked. There will be time for what-ifs later but right here and now there is a pallid silence. This is what hearbreak tastes like.
