India Win Asia Cup After Defeating Bangladesh

India retained the Asia Cup with a three-wicket win off the last ball against Bangladesh in Dubai on Friday.
 
Liton Das from Bangladesh made 121 in 117-balls.
 
Bangladesh were all out in 48.3 overs and left a target of 223 for India.
 
India starting bating with Rohit Sharma and Shikar Dhawan. 
 
Dhawan was dismissed for 15 and Sharma has fallen for 48 runs in 55 balls.
 
Dinesh Karthik (37) and Mahendra Singh Dhoni (36) added 54 for the fourth wicket but once both were dismissed Bangladesh looked like pulling off an upset.
 
Dhoni was dismissed for 36 by Mustafizur.
 
Ravindra Jadeja (23) and Bhuvenshwar Kumar (21) brought the target within India's reach through a 45-run stand for the sixth wicket but Bangladesh removed them both with eight runs still needed.
 
India then required six off the last over and one off the final delivery which came as a leg-bye. Kedar Jadhav finished with 23 not out.
 
This comes after India won the Asia Cup - under a Twenty20 format - in Bangladesh in 2016.
 
Afghanistan has beaten Sri Lanka and Bangladesh but lost to Pakistan and Bangladesh in the group and Super Four matches respectively. Afghanistan lost the opportunity to play in the final after their two consecutive defeats.
 
Afghanistan’s National Cricket Team finished its Asia Cup match in a tie against India on Tuesday night which was the first ever in the tournament.
 
Before this draw, India had already booked a spot in the final of the tournament after registering wins over Pakistan and Bangladesh in the Super Four stage.
