Tanzim seals it
What a debut for Tanzim Hasan Sakib. He hit a couple of stunning shots over mid-off in scoring an unbeaten 14 off 8 balls. He took out Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma with the new ball. Then he bowls the final over, with India needing 12 runs, and seals a memorable win for Bangladesh. Tanzim trusts in the slower ball through that over - a dipping, offcutter slower ball - and Mohammed Shami can't lay bat on the first three balls. Then he holds his shape against the fourth ball and swats it between deep midwicket and long-on for four.
With eight needed off two, he gets a yorker that he can only squeeze away behind square. Only a single is really possible, but he wants two to keep strike because he can conceivably hit a last-ball six and Prasidh Krishna most likely cannot. There's more hope than belief in that second run, and he's run out by a long way, nowhere in the picture on TV when Litton flicks the bails off.
A terrific game to end the Super Four stage. Two teams with a lot of changes to their line-up, and it was a tense tussle all the way on a pitch that had something for everyone. New-ball movement for Shami, Thakur and Tanzim, and grip for spinners from both sides. Superb innings from Shakib and Gill in particular, but also lots of other contributions from top- and lower-order batters.
In the end, Bangladesh prevail by six runs, and they leave the Asia Cup on a high after being the first team knocked out at the Super Four stage. India will stay on in Colombo for the final against Sri Lanka. Expect them to be back at full strength for that. It should be another cracker of a contest, in a tournament that has really lived up to expectations when the weather has allowed the cricket to take place. We'll see you on Sunday for that final. Until then, goodbye!
