Al-Amin to bowl the 14th over and facing him is Dhoni. The first ball is on length as Dhoni powerfully clubs it high over long-on for a six as the stadium goes into a complete silence mode.

A single followed by three runs from the next ball makes it 10 from the first three balls of the over. India in control with nine needed from nine balls for victory.

A full delivery outside the off-stump is lofted over the covers for a four by Dhoni to bring India closer.

And Dhoni ends the match in his trademark style, clubbing Al-Amin over midwicket for a six to take his team to victory.

India outclass Bangladesh by eight wickets with seven deliveries to spare to win the Asia Cup for the sixth time.
