Previously rain had delayed play and eventually restricted the final to 15 overs.

India won the toss and elected to bowl first. Bangladesh batting first posted a total of 120 for the loss of five wickets. In reply, India chased down the target in 13.5 overs. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni smashed a huge six to end the proceedings and win it for his team.
