Well Played Bangladesh
From 85/5 to a win! Emon’s knock despite injury and Akbar keeping his head under pressure won Bangladesh the game. #TeamIndia mustn’t lose heart though! Yashasvi’s temperament & Ravi’s googlies are huge takewayas!
Congrats Bangladesh on your maiden title! #INDvBAN

Akbar Ali was awarded as the man of the match for his match-saving innings. While players from India had a good campaign on the individual level as Yashasvi Jaiswal finished the tournament as the leading run-scorer and Ravi Bishnoi was the competition’s leading wicket-taker.
