He said a cloud of uncertainty had been hanging over their participation in the final. But the players were confident about playing the title decider.
"The players had confidence and it worked. We will try to give our best (in the final). If we can, it will be a great game. "
Mashrafe is unwilling to ponder about winning or losing the final. He is keen on enjoying the match which will mark Bangladesh's second Asia Cup final in four years.
