The Asia Cup had been held 10 times.
Pakistan had just won 1/10.
Pakistan had just reached 2/10 finals.
Under Captain, they not only reached the final, but won it.
Asia Cup is a big event even though not an ICC event; because it involves teams where the market for one day games is the biggest. It is the only continental trophy in the sport. It involves teams that traditionally are the strongest in one day cricket. Add in Pakistan's poor record at the Asia Cup; the 2012 triumph was Misbah's biggest limited over success as captain. Only a World Cup or Champions Trophy could top it.
