Bangladesh (113/7) beat India (112/9) by three wickets to lift their maiden Women's Asia Cup trophy Over 20: Bangladesh have beaten India by three wickets to win maiden Women's Asia Cup T20 title! Two needed off the final delivery and Bangladesh scamper for the second as a poor throw allows them to complete a historic win. Over 19.5: OUT! Rumana Ahmed is run-out! This is a BIG WICKET for India as Rumana was timing it well. A momentary loss of focus results in her being run out at the non-striker's end. She scored 23 off 22. Score 111/7 Over 19.4: OUT! This is nail-biting stuff from India. After making the equation 4 off four, Bangladesh have lost another wicket. This time it's Sanjida Islam who goes for the big hit but fails to go the distance. A good catch from Veda Krishnamurthy. She scored 5. Score 110/6 Harmanpreet Kaur takes the matters in her own hand. She will bowl the final over Over 19: Brilliant over from Deepti. She has allowed just four runs in it. It all boils down to the final over now. Score 104/5 Deepti Sharma will bowl the penultimate over Over 18: End of an eventful over from Harmanpreet Kaur. A wicket and 10 runs from it. Bangladesh are now 100/5, need 13 from the final two overs. Over 17.3: OU T! Fahima Khatun has been stumped.

Bangladesh 90/4, chasing 113 Over 16: Poonam Yadav finishes off her excellent spell with a wicket. She has done her bit to keep India in the contest. Her bowling figures: 4-0-9-4 Over 15.2: OUT! India have struck back with the prized scalp of Nigar Sultana! A full toss and Nigar holes out to Deepti Sharma in the deep. The umpire went for the review to ascertain whether the ball was above the waist. It was but Nigar was way outside the crease and the ball was dipping. So the red light comes on. She scored 27 off 24. Poonam Yadav gets her fourth wicket. Score 83/4 Over 15: The over that Bangladesh were looking for to march ahead in the ch ase. An expensive over from Jhulan Goswami. 16 runs in it including three consecutive fours to Nigar Sultana. What's worse is that Ekta Bisht has hurt herself while fielding in the over and is off the field. She had one over remaining. Score 82/3 Over 14: A busy over for Bangladesh this one. Six runs in it. Anuja Patil finishes her quota of four overs - 0/23. Score 66/3 Over 13: The veteran pacer starts well. Four singles in it. Score 60/3 Right-arm medium Jhulan Goswami introduced into the attack Over 12: End of a successful over from Poonam. Two runs and a wicket in it. Score 56/3 Over 11.3: OUT!

Score 55/3 Over 11: Ekta Bisht continues to maintain her stranglehold over the Bangladeshi batters with another good over. Just four singles from it. Score 54/2 At the halfway stage, Bangladesh are 50/2 in their chase of 113. They need 63 off 60 deliveries now with eight wickets remaining. For the moment, they are in the driving seat Over 10: Nigar Sultana starts the over with a four. Anuja then comes round the wicket and does well to keep them to two more singles in the over. Score 50/2 Anuja Patil returns for her third over Over 9: A tidy over from Poonam Yadav. Two singles in it. Score 44/2 Over 8: Fargana Hoque charges forward and sends the ball past the boundary for a one-bounce four. Seven runs from Deepti Sharma's second over. Score 42/2 Over 6.6: OUT! Two off two for Poonam. A tossed up delivery and Shamima Sultana went for the drive which she ends up hitting into the hands of Mithali Raj at cover. She scored 16 off 19. Bangladesh have now lost both their openers after a solid start. Score 35/2 Over 6.5: OUT! And she brings up the first success for India after having the dangerous Ayasha Rahman caught for 17. Score 35/1 Poonam Yadav to bowl her leg-breaks now Over 6: Shamima Sultana joins the fun with two fours off Anuja - the first over mid-off and the second employing a sweep to to backward square leg region. 9 runs from the over. Score 33/0 Over 5: Ayasha Rahsman continues to find boundaries. This time via an edge past the wicketkeeper. 7 runs from Deepti Sharma's first over.

Just three singles in her second over. Score 15/0 Over 2: Not an ideal start from Shikha as she leaks 11 runs in the over including two consecutive fours to Ayasha. She hurt herself while trying to stop the ball on her follow through off the fourth delivery. Deepti Sharma came to bowl the remaining two deliveries. 11 runs from the over. Score 12/0 Right-arm medium Shikha Pandey joins Bisht from the other end Over 1: A decent first over from Ekta. Just a single from it. Score 1/0 Shamima Sultana and Ayasha Rahman will start Bangladesh's chase. Ekta Bisht will open the attack. India were 32/4 at one stage before captain Harmanpreet and Veda got together to repair some damage. However, regular wickets kept them on the backfoot. But Harmanpreet continued to wage a lone battle as she recorded her fifth T20I fifty to give some respectability to the final total. For Bangladesh, Rumana and Khadija picked up two wickets each while Salma and Jahanara chipped in with a wicket each. Over 20: India finish on 112/9 after Harmanpreet Kaur's fighting half-century off 42 deliveries. She attempted a big hit on the final delivery of the India innings but was caught near the boundary by Jahanara off Khadija. Over 19.1: OUT! That was unnecessary but Jhulan Goswami's intent was right - to bring Harmanpreet on strike at any cost. But she fails after being run out on 10. India 107/8 Kadija to bowl the final over Over 18.6: With back-to-back boundaries, India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur reaches her fifth T20I half-century off 39 deliveries. She's on 52 with seven fours to her name. 10 runs from the over. India 107/7 Salma Khatun will bowl the penultimate over Over 18: Harmanpreet enters the 40s with a four to deep square leg region. Nine runs from Khadija's third over. Score 97/7 Khadija is back into the attack Over 17: A good over for India. A poor delivery from Rumana Ahmed allows Jhulan Goswami to smack it to extra cover region for a boundary. 8 runs in it. Score 88/7 Over 16: Harmanpreet starts the over with a four off the first delivery to third man region. Six runs from Nahida Akter's final over of the innnigs. She finishes wicketless but gave just 12 runs in her four overs. Score 80/7 Jhulan Goswami is the new batter in the middle Over 14.6: OUT! That's a double-wicket over from Rumana. Shikha Pandey, the new batter, was looking to cut one but gets an edge to be caught by the 'keeper Shamima Sultana. She scored 1. India 74/7 Over 14.2: OUT! Another one bites the dust. This time it's Taniya Bhatia who has to walk back after being stumped off Rumana Ahmed on 3. Score 72/6<doc-sep>Preview: The Indian team will look to make it seven out of seven titles when they lock horns against Bangladesh in the final of the Women's Asia Cup T20 in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. India have been the most successful team in the history of the competition, winning all six titles since the tournament's inception in 2004. While for Bangladesh, this will be their maiden appearance in the final. The first four editions of the tournament were One-Day Internationals and were played in Sri Lanka (2004), Pakistan (2005), India (2006) and Sri Lanka (2008) respectively. While the last two editions were T20Is and were played in China (2012) and 2016 (Thailand) respectively — with Indian emerging out as winners in all of them. The Indian eves will now look to reach the 'seventh heaven' by beating the surprise package of the tournament Bangladesh, who have consistently punched above their weight to enter the final by finishing second in the group, ahead of the likes of Pakistan and Sri Lanka. However, Harmanpreet and Co cannot commit the mistake of taking Bangladesh lightly as Salma and her bunch of giant-slayers have shown in the tournament that on their day, they are more than capable of beating anyone. In the ninth match of the tournament, Bangladesh scripted history as they thrashed India by 7 wickets and registered their first ever win over their Indian counterparts, across any format of the game. Following this historic win, Bangladesh star Rumana Ahmed told ESPNcricinfo: "The dream has always been to come close to beating a team like India. That we've beaten them is a reality. When we arrived at the team hotel, the Pakistan players congratulated us in the lobby. We beat them the other day, and today they were congratulating us for beating India." This victory in the group stage went a long way in helping Bangladesh enter the final, however, form and previous records both state that India are outright favourites to lift the cup once again over their less-illustrious rivals. India sealed a spot in the title clash by comprehensively beating arch-rivals Pakistan by seven wickets in the virtual semi-finals on Saturday. Apart from the minor blip the players suffered against Bangladesh — which was their first ever loss in Asia Cup history — the Indian stars have played good consistent cricket right throughout the course of the tournament. Harmanpreet Kaur is the highest run-scorer of the tournament, having scored 100 runs in 3 innings. While Smriti Mandhana and Mithali Raj have also chipped in with runs when the team has needed them. (Mithali slammed 97* in the first match of the tournament against Malaysia — matches against whom the ICC recognises as Minor League matches and not T20Is). Moving onto the bowling department, Ekta Bist's spin is ruling the roost in Kuala Lumpur as her three-wicket performance helped her win the player of the match against Pakistan in the virtual semi-final, her third on the trot in the tournament. Ekta is currently sitting pretty at the third spot in the list of most number of wickets taken in the tournament. Meanwhile, Poonam Yadav has also bowled well for the ‘Women in Blue’ as she has managed to pick up one wicket each in the three matches that she has played thus far. Both India and Bangladesh finished with 8 points in five matches to seal their respective places in the final of the competition. However, the gulf in class in very apparent and that is something that the players recognise too. "It hurts when you have to wait for your chances because you're the ninth-ranked team. Teams like India, Pakistan - they're in the top eight and play (ICC Women's Championship) matches all around the year. It's like you're made to feel you're not good enough, but I hope this goes some way towards changing that perception," Rumana said. Although, Bangladesh will be no push-overs in this David versus Goliath clash, the onus will be on them to show the world that the historical victory that they scripted against the mighty Indians few day ago was no fluke.<doc-sep>India will look to avenge the loss they suffered in the group stage when they take on Bangladesh in the final of the Women's Asia Cup T20.

Pic Credit: Asian Cricket Council Key Highlights Bangladesh reached the target of 113 off the final delivery of the match This is Bangladesh's maiden Women's Asia Cup title With this defeat, India's run of six straight titles has come to an end NEW DELHI: Bangladesh stunned India by three wickets in a last-ball finish to win their maiden Women's Asia Cup T20 title at the Kinrara Academy Oval, Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. Chasing 113, Bangladesh reached the target off the final delivery to record a historic title win over the defending champions India. ALSO READ: AS IT HAPPENED Bangladesh began their chase on a solid footing with the opening pair of Ayasha Rahaman (17) and Shamima Sultana (16) adding 33 in the Powerplay overs. Poonam Yadav brought India in the contest with two wickets in two deliveries to dismiss both the openers. However, unlike India, Bangladesh managed to stitch together little partnerships to keep themselves in the fray. The spinners, led by Poonam (4/9), did their best to keep the contest alive though. With 66/3 in 14 overs, India found themselves slightly ahead. But the 15th over, bowled by Jhulan Goswami, turned the tables as in it, Nigar Sultana creamed three successive fours to take 16 runs from it. With 31 needed off the final four, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur brought back Poonam into the attack and she delivered with the scalp of Nigar (27). Injuries to first-choice Shikha Pandey and Deepti Sharma meant Harmanpreet took the matters in her own hands. Her first over, innings' 18th, resulted in a wicket but also brought Bangladesh 10 runs closer to the target. After an excellent 19th over from Poonam, Bangladesh needed nine from the last. Despite losing two wickets in the over, Bangladesh managed to reach the target in a thrilling finale. That India were able to give Bangladesh a run for their money seemed a distant possibility when they were reduced to 32/4 after being put in to bat. It took a fifth-wicket partnership of 30 runs between Harmanpreet and Veda Krishnamurthy (11) to repair some of the damage. While Harmanpreet continued to wage a lone battle, as she reached a fifth T20I half-century, others failed to offer her any support. Only four India batters touched double-figures and none barring Harmanpreet crossed 11. She eventually holed out on the final delivery of the Indian innings on 56 which had seven fours in it. This was the second occasion that Bangladesh defeated India in the tournament after stunning them earlier in the league stage. Thus, India's run of six straight Asia Cup titles (four ODIs and two T20s) came to an end with Bangladesh claiming their first ever. Brief Scores: India 112/9 (Harmanpreet 56; Rumana Ahmed 2/22, Khadija Tul Kubra 2/23) lost to Bangladesh 113/7 (Nigar Sultana 27, Rumana Ahmed 23; Poonam Yadav 4/9) by three wickets
