Live scorecard and ball-by-ball details
When Dinesh Karthik came to the crease India required 34 off 12 balls. Mustafizur Rahman had just delivered perhaps the over of the tournament. A profoundly deflated VIjay Shankar was batting at the other end. What unravelled was a scarcely believable finish that saw Bangladesh fritter away their chance at the title, and Karthik – phenomenally cool at the crease – seized ruthlessly on their string of mistakes. He punished Rubel Hossain in the penultimate over, as the bowler continually missed his yorkers. The first ball, a full toss, disappeared over Rubel’s head. Later in the over, overpitched balls would be smoked over cow corner, blasted past square leg. Twenty two runs were hit off that over, but Karthik’s best moment came at the end of the next. India now needing four off the last ball, he drilled a wide half volley from Soumya Sarkar over the extra cover rope. An India-supporting Khettarama crowd (a phenomenon without precedence in the 201th century) was tipped into euphoria. His own teammates flew out of the dressing room to greet him, engulfing him in a frenzied huddle.
