  • Player of the Match
    Shikhar Dhawan
That's it from us then. The first edition of the Asia Cup in the Twenty20 format is over but we have a lot of T20s coming up. Bangladesh will take a flight to India tomorrow for the World T20 as they have to play group stage first while India will have a few days off and then they will be back in business. Do join us ahead for the upcoming matches. Goodbye. Cheers!
The Indian players get the trophy and pose for the photographs. They look a pretty happy side and they totally deserve this moment. They were a team to beat throughout and have ended this tourney unbeaten.
MS DHONI thanks his top order for doing so well and mentions in the last few games it has done the bulk of the job. He adds he has a settled team and feels good with this side. Also feels India are on the right track for the T20 World Cup. Credits Bumrah as he has yorkers and adds the one with a yorker can always mix it up. He backs Pandya as he gives him those four overs as well with the ball. He is eagerly waiting to play in the World Cup now. He feels there are 13-14 match-winners in his side and the players are taking the responsibility really well.
MASHRAFE MORTAZA credits his boys for playing so well. Adds they are working really hard and hopes this team will carry its form. He has a lot of confidence in his side and can't wait for the World T20 now as they have a flight tomorrow morning.
MAN OF THE SERIES, SABBIR RAHMAN. He scored 176 runs at an average of 44 and had a strike rate of 123.94.
MAN OF THE MATCH, SHIKHAR DHAWAN says it's pretty special (to win the award in the final) and credits the team's hard work. He feels the run chase was always in control and they never felt they were in trouble. He adds he is a match-winner as well and says as an opener you don't get many opportunities to finish the matches.
Kohli continued his good form and scored an unbeaten 41 from 28. After Dhawan lost his wicket, MS Dhoni came in and blasted 20 runs off 6 deliveries. He once again crossed the finishing line with a six as he has done it several times. Earlier, Bangladesh posted a competitive total but their bowlers had no answer on how to stop the Indian batsmen.
Apart from the Powerplay, the hosts were never in the game. Rohit fell cheaply but Kohli and Dhawan took the ship forward. Dhawan who was a bit shaky since the beginning of the tournament played a gem of an innings tonight. He along with Kohli stitched a partnership worth 94 runs.
INDIA WIN THE ASIA CUP WITH TOTAL DOMINATION! They now hold the most number of Asia Cup titles. Comprehensive win! India now have a streak of 7 consecutive wins in T20Is. The players are celebrating in style and the Bangladesh fans are totally upset. But the hosts did well throughout the tournament, so there are a lot of positives to take to the World T20!
