20:25(IST)

WICKET! Another run out, Bangladeshi faces in the dressing room tell a story. Yet another case of suicidal running from Bangladesh, Soumya has to walk back as they look to steal two but he is caught just short. Soumya Sarkar was batting well but now has to walk back for 33. Bangladesh are 221/8 after 48 overs

20:18(IST)
20:16(IST)

WICKET! Run out now, Bangladesh's day goes from good to bad to worse. Nazmul is struck on the pads and he runs without looking, sent back by the non-striker but Pandya runs up to the stumps and dislodges the bails.  Bangladesh are now 213/8

20:11(IST)

Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes into the attack as well. He starts by conceding 8 runs, all in 1s and 2s. Only in Bangladesh had adopted this approach in the middle of the innings, it might have helped them finish strongly. Bangladesh are 210/7 here after 46 overs.

20:08(IST)
20:06(IST)

Jasprit Bumrah has now come back into the attack, Bangladesh looking to just play out the overs here and get to a challenging total. At the moment though it looks it will be a cakewalk for India to the title. 45 overs bowled and Bangladesh are 202/7

20:01(IST)

Chahal concedes just 3 runs from the 44th over and Bangladesh struggle their way to 200 now. Who would have thought, considering the start these guys had. Now we are entering the final phase of the innings and Bangladesh are 199/7 after 44 overs

19:55(IST)

WICKET! Mashrafe Mortaza departs now,  he hit a six over mid-wicket but then again looks to give the charge. Comes down the track but completely misses the ball and Dhoni does the rest behind the stumps. Poor batting this, Bangladesh should have looked to play 50 overs here.They are now 196/7

19:51(IST)

India going for spinners at the end as they now look to go for the kill, Chahal now comes into the attack and just 2 runs conceded in the over. Bangladesh will struggle to play 50 overs here, Bangladesh are 190/6 after 42 overs

19:47(IST)

WICKET! Another one bites the dust or maybe not, super fast stumping by MS Dhoni and umpire is taking another look at it, this has gone on for a while. Benefit of doubt might go to the batsmen but no! The screen says out and Bangladesh are disappointed, Liton departs for 121 and Bangladesh are 188/6

19:41(IST)

SIX! Huge one, Soumya Sarkar goes down on one knee and sweeps one over mid-wicket for a maximum. Bangladesh are now 182/5 after 40 overs.

19:37(IST)

Runs coming in only singles and doubles at the moment, Bangladesh pick just 2 runs from the 29th over. Someone will have to take charge here and Bangladesh are 168/5, even 250 looks far away at the moment

19:34(IST)

STAT ATTACK: Phase comparison

First 10 overs: 65/0 (RR 6.50)

Next 10 overs: 51/0 (RR 5.10)

Next 10 overs: 31/4 (RR. 3.10)

19:32(IST)

Jasprit Bumrah comes back into the attack now, he starts by conceding just 2 runs. Bangladesh are currently 165/5 as they look for a big finish, India will be looking to get them for below 250 here

19:27(IST)

Jadhav now comes back into the attack after the drinks, almost another wicket but MS Dhoni fails to collect the ball cleanly there. Just three runs conceded in that over and Bangladesh are 163/5 after 36 overs

19:20(IST)

We are entering the final 15 overs of the game. The Bangladesh players will be looking to finish strongly here, that will certainly be the key now. A total of somewhere around 250 will be a must if India is to be challenged. Also, its time for drinks with Bangaldesh 160/5

19:16(IST)

Runs coming in 1s and 2s now, what that fall of wickets has done is that it has stopped Bangladesh from going for the big shots. Infact the run rate has now fallen to close to 4.6 here. India have fought back brilliantly here, Bangladesh are 157/5 after 34 overs here

19:12(IST)

The crowd getting into the game and it is no surprise that they are cheering for India here, Soumya Sarkar has come out to join Liton Das now, who must be wondering just what's wrong with the other batsmen. He seems to be batting on a different surface! Bangladesh are 152/5 after 33 overs

19:08(IST)

WICKET! Another one bites the dust, this is just ordinary batting from the experienced Mahmudullah. Should be looking to rotate the strike here but he goes for the big hit and gets a top edge. Bumrah takes a fine catch at deep square leg boundary. He was running close to the boundary line and extends his arms just at the right time to take the catch. Bangladesh are now 151/5

19:06(IST)

Mahmudullah has come out now and joined Liton Das. Liton's role has become all the more crucial now, Bangladesh need him to bat as long as possible and also as close as possible to the 50th over. Mahmudullah needs to use his experience and rotate the strike consistently. That's not happening at the moment and Bangladesh are 150/4

19:03(IST)

The Bangladesh run-rate has gone a bit haywire.

18:59(IST)

100! Amongs all the panic, Liton Das completes his ton here. His first ODI century,  He is the second Bangladesh opener to score a ODI ton in Asia cup. Das scored 68.96  % of the team runs.(100/145)

18:52(IST)

WICKET! What is happening to Bangladesh, they are pressing the panic button like anything. This time Liton plays a flourishing cover drive but sensational effort from Jadeja as he stops the ball on the dive and then has the presence of mind to throw the ball at the right end. Both the batsmen are stranded at the keeper's end. Mithun has to walk back now for 2, Bangladesh are 139/4

18:46(IST)

WICKET! Mushfiqur what have you done! Jadhav strikes once again as Mushfiqur Rahim looks to pull after picking the length early, however he gets it off the bottom half of his bat and it goes straight to deep mid-wicket where Bumrah takes a comfortable catch. Bangladesh are 137/3 and they look to be in trouble now

18:44(IST)

The spinners have played an instrumental role in bringing India back into this game, Kedar Jadhav has emerges as a vital cog in Indian bowling over the past few years. Something no one would have imagined two years back! Bangladesh are 135/2

18:41(IST)

Mushfiqur Rahim has now come out for Bangladesh, much later than what he has usually come out in the tournament so far. Gets off the mark with a boundary off Jadeja. Halfway stage into the innings and Bangladesh are 133/2, they will be eyeing a total of somewhere around 300 here

18:35(IST)

WICKET! This might be another wicket for India, Chahal has struck now as Imrul Kayes departs. The ball pitches and comes back in to hit him on the pads. Umpire raises his finger but Kayes wants a review here. Unlucky as the impact show's umpire's signal which was out. It was always going to hit the stumps and India are back in the game now, Kayes departs for 2 and Bangladesh are 128/2

18:31(IST)

Important phase of the match as far as India are concerned, they are quickly slipping in a couple of quiet overs here. Kedar Jadhav now cocnedes just 4 runs in the over and Bangladesh are 128/1 at the moment

18:29(IST)

Yuzvendra Chahal now comes into the attack, Imrul Kayes has come out to join Liton Das and it will be important for Bangladesh to not lose wickets in a heap here. They would want to also keep rotating the strike with the left-hand and right-hand combination, Bangladesh are 125/1

Preview: On a Friday in the United Arab Emirates India will not play Pakistan in the final of the Asia Cup 2018. Scriptwriters may read and weep, but it is Bangladesh who will join India, who qualified for the final at the earliest. And, while India-Pakistan is a more delicious prospect for fans and supporters, it is Bangladesh who have played the better cricket in this tournament and are most likely to stretch India. India have exuded a relaxed air throughout this series, belying the heat and dust of the desert. They trained once, ahead of the first game, against Hong Kong, but since have focused more on recovery and staying fresh, something aided by the fact that they played all their matches in Dubai and the schedule was loaded in their favour, barring back-to-back matches at the start. On the field India have kept their cool too, taking a cue from the two men who have captained in this series. Rohit Sharma is rarely animated on the field and Mahendra Singh Dhoni doesn’t break a sweat even when he sits in a sauna. It has helped that they have rarely had to deviate from a set script. The openers start slowly but steadily, build a foundation and on this big ground in Dubai the rest work towards a reasonable but not necessarily mammoth total. Defence on the field has been built on Bhuvneshwar Kumar picking up wickets at the top, Jasprit Bumrah keeping it tight and allowing the spinners then to get through their overs quickly and put a choke-hold on the batsmen.

This is exactly what the plan will be against Bangladesh, who are hamstrung by the fact that their two best batsmen, Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal are out with injury. That being the case, much rests on Mushfiqur Rahim and Mohammad Mithun, and India will know if they get these two early the game is as good as in the bag. Shikhar Dhawan, who has formed a deadly opening partnership with Rohit, did not underestimate the opposition. “I guess they’re balanced, know what their strengths are, they’ve improved a lot. They’re a competitive side. Hats off to them, the way they played and won against Pakistan. When you play all-round cricket, the results will follow,” said Dhawan on the eve of the final. “The plan we made against them in the previous game, we will try and stick to that. Conditions will remain the same, we’ll plan for individuals by looking at videos of their batsmen, revise and prepare accordingly.” Dhawan said that Virat Kohli’s absence did not necessarily add to the workload. “As such, it’s not like there is extra responsibility on us because Virat isn’t there. This is the kind of tournament where there was an opportunity to test our middle order and identify combinations and players who can play for the future,” said Dhawan. “Virat isn’t there but me and Rohit are there, we play every game like this is a bilateral series or any big game. It feels good to score runs, everyone thinks about consistency.” When asked about Bangladesh’s tendency to choke on the big occasion, Dhawan resisted the temptation to get into mind games or throw a barb. “How many years have they been playing cricket now? If we see any other team, what will be the difference? Sometimes reaching finals is always a big thing, I look at it differently. Hopefully we win tomorrow, we will see them crossing that barrier also, things can change anytime. That’s how I see it.” Dhawan believed that India’s unbeaten run into the final meant that they would have the advantage over their opponents. “Of course we’ll carry momentum and give it the best shot, all teams are competitive, everyone thought it was India-Pakistan in the final, but Bangladesh won a great match last night, we can’t take them lightly just because Pakistan is a bigger team,” said Dhawan. “Bangladesh is playing better cricket, there’s a difference between a team on paper and who is doing good on the field, that’s how I see.”

Bangladesh have tremendous self-belief and Mashrafe Mortaza, the captain, has played a major role in rallying his troops. “Mashrafe bhai told us one thing ... we talked about one thing: when at war, you don’t look back,” Mushfiqur Rahim revealed. “Either kill or be killed — one or the other. So that was a huge inspiration.” Now it remains to be seen if Bangladesh have the skill to walk the walk, having talked the talk.
