India, led by Dhoni, scripted a one-run victory in the most thrilling fashion. In the last ball of the final over, Bangladesh needed two runs to win. All-rounder Hardik Pandya had the ball in his hand in the final over and he bowled a dot ball.

Bangladesh batsmen tried to steal a single which would have leveled the score and resulted in a Super Over but Dhoni motored towards the stumps to run Mustafizur Rahman out and spark wild celebrations.
