Batting first, India were bundled out for 177 in 47.2 overs. Opener Yashaswi Jaiswal scored 88 runs off 121 balls.
Earlier, Bangladesh skipper Akbar Ali won the toss and elected to field first. India were unbeaten in the tournament before the big finale, winning all their five matches. In the semifinal on Tuesday (February 4), India defeated arch-rivals Pakistan by 10 wickets.

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
