Bangladesh women become champions

Bangladesh captain Salma Khatun won the toss and decided to field first against India in the Women's Asia Cup T20I 2018 final in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Sunday.

Both Bangladesh and India finished their round robin league campaign with eight points from five matches to qualify for the final in the six-nation regional tournament.

Six-time winner India however, finished at the top of the points table courtesy superior net run rate.

This is Bangladesh women's first ever appearance in a major tournament final.
