Bangladesh trip up India despite Gill hitting a ton

India lost to Bangladesh by six runs despite a measured hundred from opener Shubman Gill and a valiant 42 off 34 from Axar Patel in the last Super Four match of the Asia Cup at Colombo on Friday.

Having already reached Sunday's final, India rested five players but Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan and Towhid Hridoy tested their reserve bowlers with fifties before a late onslaught helped them score 265. In reply, India were hobbling at 170/6 before Gill shepherded the chase with a mature knock, only to be dismissed with 57 runs still needed to win. Patel took the chase to the wire till Mustafizur Rahman's cutter undid him in the penultimate over, leaving the last pair 12 to win from the last over.

Mohammed Shami was ultimately run out but defeat was handed to India in increments from the third over of the chase, each dismissal highlighting technical faults, shot selection errors and sometimes just a perplexing lack of patience.
