That's it from this game, there's one more to go. The gold medal match between India and Afghanistan isn't too far away. Let's hope that the weather stays clear. See you there...
12:53 Local Time, 04:53 GMT, 10:23 IST: Bronze medal for Bangladesh! Rakibul Hasan is pumped up, throws his bat away in joy and his team-mates run towards him to hug him. Needing 65 runs in five overs, Bangladesh lost two wickets in the very first over. But they came back strongly by scoring 31 runs off the next two overs. Arshad Iqbal bowled superbly in the penultimate over - conceding just 5 runs and also nipped out Afif Hossain. With 20 runs needed off the final over, Yasir Ali went 6 2 6 2 before perishing off the penultimate ball. A boundary was needed off the final ball and Rakibul Hasan hit the glory shot. Earlier in the day, the start of play was delayed due to rain. Pakistan came out to bat and scored 48 runs in five overs with the game reduced to 13-overs-per-side. The heavens opened up again and chances of any further play looked bleak. Had the match been washed out, Pakistan would have won the bronze medal as they are the higher ranked side. However, the weather cleared just in time and Bangladesh emerged victorious.
