Mirpur: India chased down Bangladesh’s 121-run target with eight wickets and seven balls to spare to lift the Asia Cup T20 title thanks to Shikhar Dhawan’s 44-ball 60.

India lost opener Rohit Sharma (1) early on, but Dhawan and Virat Kohli (41 not out) stitched a 94-run second wicket partnership to take the game away from the hosts before skipper MS Dhoni (six-ball 20) sealed it with a six at the Shere Bangla Stadium yesterday in a rain-affected 15-overs-a-side final.
