India snuck home with three wickets in hand against Bangladesh to claim the Asia Cup title for the second time in succession, but they were made to work far harder than many expected.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh had made 222 on the back of a brilliant maiden hundred from Liton Das, but three wickets from Kuldeep Yadav, two from Kedar Jadhav, and three run outs had perhaps made them slight favourites, especially considering their batting firepower.

However, India had to work hard as the opponents struck on a consistent basis to stretch the game. Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma started in a grand fashion but the wicket of Dhawan halted the run flow. But useful contributions down the order ensured that they reach the target in the last over of the game.

Here is the players rating of team India against Bangladesh from the Asia Cup 2018 final at Dubai:
