India Beat Bangladesh In Thrilling Finale To Retain Asia Cup Title

September 29, 2018 • By

India retained the Asia Cup title by beating Bangladesh by three wickets in a last-ball finish at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday. In what was a repeat of the 2016 final (played in T20I format), India overhauled the 223-run target set by Bangladesh on the final ball of their innings. Liton Das hit a maiden ODI century for Bangladesh but found no support from the other batsmen. It was a spirited effort from the Bangladesh team in the field but some solid batting from India’s lower order thwarted the Bangladeshis.
