India pulled a handsome victory over Bangladesh to win their 6th Asia Cup and hence remained unbeaten in the tournament. After a brief wait of two hours due to the wet outfield, the match started at 9 p.m IST. The match was reduced to 15 overs per side.

After a slow start, Bangladesh rode on Mahmudullah’s gritty knock of 33 from 13 to post a competitive total of 120. For India, Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah did a very good job.
India had a terrible start after Rohit Sharma edged one to the first slip in the 2nd over. From there on, Shikhar Dhwan and Virat Kohli built a steady partnership and looked in control of the match until Dhwan got out in the 13th over.
Then came MS Dhoni to finish off the match in a jiffy. He clobbered 2 huge sixes and a four to finish the match with 7 balls to spare. Shikhar Dhawan was adjudged the man of the match for leading India to the 6th Asia Cup title. Virat Kohli was once again instrumental in stabilising the innings.
See how the twitter world reacted to India’s win over Bangladesh.

It's like the whole universe come together and scripts Dhoni to score that winning Six, every time!
Even 10-15 more runs by Bangladesh wouldn't have made any difference. Matter of 2-3 more balls for Dhoni.
Dhoni wins with the Six Its India's Asia Cup Number Six
What do you know, Dhoni doesn't need Photoshop for decapitations #AsiaCupT20Final

Dhoni will walk in now, smash 2 sixes to finish the match and leave us wondering what all the fuss was about. #LikeABoss
He took that poster personally & thus came ahead of Yuvraj & Raina; didn't even bother for Kohli's 50 & finished ruthlessly #IndvsBan
Some Kohli fan in Bangladesh might go to jail tonight.
Virat Kohli Batting with Ramiz Raja Commenting is like eating Chapathi with Ice cream.. #WeirdCombination
Virat Kohli is such a slap to the popular Indian belief that Nice, Humble & hard working ppl do well & arrogant ppl fail eventually
If not Cricket, Virat Kohli should have joined the police. . . . . . . . He is good at chasing. #AsiaCupT20Final
Dhawan must have been that guy while growing up who always asks "Bhai peeche ke run hain na ?" #IndvsBan
Sheer dominance by India..super proud of the team.. Indiaaa Indiaaa.. Jai hind!
