Harmanpreet Kaur goes up to collect the winner's trophy as the Indian team lines up for a group pic. All smiles in the camp despite the loss as they take the series 2-1. That will be it from us as well. On behalf of Sudarshanan and Ranjith, this is Ashish signing off. Ciao!

Lastly, the Bangladesh captain, Nigar Sultana Before the ODI series, we needed momentum, and today how we bowled, it is going to give us that. They [bowlers] showed character. After the last match, everyone was confident. We know what we are capable of. We need to keep our positive cricket. Was very confident of our team, and I know their potential. We are capable of beating good teams.

Next up, Player of the Series, and that is Harmanpreet Kaur: Bangladesh looked aware today, the way they were batting. Lots of learning that we will take. They did not give us a single chance to take teh game. We need to stay positive and see what can be done. This wicket, we need to depend on singles. Our batting collapsed; we could not get even six runs an over. The five overs were the game-changer. We did not get the total we were expecting. [ODIs] This will be a low-scoring tournament. We need to keep rotating the strike, and focus on the dot balls. We need to set up long-term goals. Let's see how we plan the next three games. [Bangladesh bowlers] Their young bowlers did not give us anything. One more girl, she bowled well today. [Youngsters] Not only [Minnu] Mani, Jemi [Rodrigues] also bowled today. It's a great opportunity and we are getting a new bowler who is keen to bowl.

First up, Player of the Match, which goes to Shamima Sultana: We tried to work on the smaller mistakes (from the second match), tried to take the singles and doubles and rotate the strike.

Presentation time

5.08pm Just the third win for Bangladesh over India in 16 attempts in T20Is, and they will want to savour this one for long. The win was squarely setup by the bowlers, who restricted India to 102 for . The visitors lost 6 for 11 in the end, with the spinners doing the bulk of the damage. Again, the batting came under the microscope, but this time it was Shamima Sultana who stood tall. She scored 42 off 45 balls coming in as an opener to shepherd the chase. Nigar Sultana played another important hand, while Sultana Khatun and Nahida Akter scored quick runs in the end to give Bangladesh the win. The decisive over was the 18th, bowled by debutant Rashi Kanojiya, that went for 13 and tilted the scales in Bangladesh's favour. India, however, have taken the series 2-1.

Mashfi: "I think there was a short run at 17.5, that's why they played an extra delivery" Yep, there was the confusion.

1
Sharma to Ritu Moni, 1 run

Half-tracker outside off, she goes back and hacks to deep backward square leg and there's the win for Bangladesh. What they couldn't achieve in the previous game, they have done it here.

18.1
1
Sharma to Nahida Akter, 1 run

Is that a run out? Nope, she has made it home easily! Slower on middle and leg, she clips to short fine leg and they set off for a run. A flat throw is in, but the batter made it easily.

Last ball of the game? Deepti to bowl the 19th over

There's two of them. Fuller outside off, she opens the face of the blade neatly past backward point.

Just four to get

1
Kanojiya to Ritu Moni, 1 run

Shimmies down the track and drives the length ball outside off past extra cover who misfields and they take two. Hold on, there is a short run. So just a one there

Kanojiya to Nahida Akter, 1 run

Angled outside off, she bunts to point and they take a quick run

17.3

Kanojiya to Nahida Akter, FOUR runs

Takes full toll. Dances down the track, coverts it into a slot ball and hacks it past a diving long on. Nothing she could have done.

Free-hit time

Kanojiya to Nahida Akter, (no ball) 2 runs

Knee-high full toss and she takes toll! Oh, that's a no-ball as well. Was quite a late call, I must add. Nahida gets across and whacks it in the gap between deep square leg and deep midwicket. Vastrakar moves swiftly and dives full-length. Has she saved two runs? Very close on the boundary edge. She has saved two.

17.2
1
Kanojiya to Ritu Moni, 1 run

Slightly slower but the length is quite short again. She is on the backfoot and bunts to deep point

Vaidya to Ritu Moni, 2 runs

Outside edge, and she gets two. They all count. Tossed up generously outside off. She looks for a hard drive, gets a thick edge with the ball flying past Deepti, who does well to chase it down

16.4
Vaidya to Ritu Moni, no run

Quicker length ball outside off, she taps and looks for another run. This time she is sent back

Vaidya to Ritu Moni, OUT

Quicker outside off. She taps and runs, and a good flat throw sees the back of the key batter - Shamima Sultana! This is a huge, huge wicket for India. The hosts were cruising in the chase, but two wickets in two balls have tilted the scales again. Legbreak outside off, she pushes to point and sets off. Sultana was slow out of the blocks and flat throw from the fielder, bang on the stumps was enough for Bhatia to rip out the stumps. Big moment in the game, this.

Shamima Sultana run out (Mani/†Bhatia) 42 (46b 3x4 0x6 68m) SR: 91.3

Ritu Moni comes in

16.1
W
Vaidya to Sultana Khatun, OUT

Sultana goes and is there another twist in this game? Short, but turning away from the batter. She stays back, but has to reach for the ball and ends up plonking it straight to extra cover.

Sultana Khatun c Mandhana b Vaidya 12 (8b 2x4 0x6 9m) SR: 150

Vaidya back on. Shamima the key for Bangladesh. They need 18 off 24.
