"In a gripping clash that had cricket fans on the edge of their seats, the final Super 4 match of Asia Cup 2023 delivered high-octane drama as Shubman Gill's masterful innings of 121 and Axar Patel's late surge of 42 proved insufficient for India. Despite their valiant efforts, Bangladesh emerged victorious by a slender margin of 6 runs on that fateful Friday.
Chasing a target of 266 runs, India's hopes were dashed as they were bundled out for 259 in 49.5 overs. Mustafizur Rahman emerged as the hero for Bangladesh, clinching three crucial wickets to tilt the game in their favor.
Earlier in the match, it was Shakib Al Hasan who shone for Bangladesh, showcasing his all-round prowess with a gritty 80 runs, while Tohwid Hridoy contributed with a well-crafted half-century, scoring 54. Their efforts led Bangladesh to post a competitive total of 265 for 8 in their allotted 50 overs.
