Shubman Gill single-handedly threatened one of the great heists in ODI cricket, but in his magnificent fifth century ended up in a losing cause as Bangladesh extended their recent hold over India in the 50-over format. Saving their best for last, Bangladesh pulled off a six-run victory, defending their 265 for eight expertly through pace and spin despite a wonderful late cameo from Axar Patel to score their third win over India in the last four encounters. India were bowled out in the final over for 259.

As far as the Asia Cup was concerned, Friday’s final Super 4 league contest was merely of academic interest, Sri Lanka’s sensational two-wicket win over Pakistan in a match which ended past 1 am on Friday formalising their entry into the final against India. Rohit Sharma used the opportunity to rest five key players, including Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, in a bid to test out the bench, but he wouldn’t have been too pleased with what unfolded before his eyes.
