In the final, Bangladesh will face the challenge of UAE, who caused an upset by beating Pakistan by 11 runs in the other semi-final.

Maruf took four wickets and shook India’s top order.
Chasing the target, Bangladesh also lost three wickets for 34 runs in 10 overs, but Islam put on 138 runs for the fourth wicket with Ahrar Amin (44 off 101 balls) apart from playing an innings of 94 runs off 90 balls. This partnership ensured the victory of the team. Bangladesh achieved the target by losing six wickets in 42.5 overs.
After being sent in to bat first, the Indian team got off to a poor start, losing three wickets for 13 runs and six wickets for 61 runs in seven overs.
