India’s chase was hampered by early wickets, as they lost Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav cheaply. Shubman Gill played a brilliant knock of 121 off 133 balls, but he did not get much support from the other batsmen. Axar Patel scored 42 off 34 balls, but he was run out in the penultimate over. India needed 10 runs off the last over, but Mustafizur Rahman bowled a superb spell to dismiss Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur, and seal a six-run historic win for Bangladesh.
