A clash erupted between desperate ticket seekers in Bangladesh and police due to shortage of tickets for Sunday's Asia Cup final against India in Mirpur.

According to the Daily Star, the agitated protestors vandalised several vehicles and hurled brickbats at the law enforcers, which triggered a clash that left several people injured.

Subsequently, the police resorted to using teargas to disperse the mob.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh national team are aiming to capitalise on their new-found resurgence and produce an upset win over title favourites India tomorrow.

Although India comfortably trounced the hosts by 45 runs in the opening match of the tournament, Bangladesh displayed tremendous amount of resilience as they won three successive matches to advance to the final.
