And on that note it's a wrap from us. The result makes it two wins in two for India, and two hard fought wins at that. The games keep coming thick and fast with New Zealand set for their first taste tomorrow, while England, Afghanistan, West Indies, Zimbabwe and USA will also be action. But until then, on behalf of Himanshu and the rest of the team, this is Madushka signing out!

Ayush Mhatre: "The way Kundu and Vaibhav batted was really brilliant. Even Kanishk batted brilliantly in the end. There was a little dampness on the wicket. The ball was sticking on the wicket from back of the length. It was difficult. There was a simple discussion: the break was on our side because there was some momentum for Bangladesh... Boys were confident we could defend the total. The batsmen doesn't expect a part-timer to come in this situation [and hence giving the ball to Malhotra]. I'm pretty confident in his skills."

Azizul Hakim: "Disappointing for us... missed chances. DLS came into play. For us, it's about learning. Very proud of Al Fahad. Looking forward to the next match. [When did it go wrong?] When I took that shot! This game is like a learning for me. I just gave my best, but unfortunately, they took the catch. India is a very good team."

Nagraj Todur: "Vihan deserve MoM!! Wickets and fantastic catch to end the match!!"

Shadow-Shell: "Pressure? What pressure? Indian boys showing how it's done, done, done. With crucial assist from Mother Nature"

Player of the Match goes to Vihaan Malhotra for his match-winning figures of 4 for 14: "It's nerve wracking, but being on the winning side is great. The discussion [after the rain interruption] was positive and it was about instilling in us that we can do anything. [approach?] The plan was to limit boundaries at the end, and I backed my strength of bowling yorkers at the end. I backed my skill that I could defend this score, and just believe in God. Playing a game like this, we chose cricket to play in games like this, and it's a great opportunity to be in one."

6.30pm Well. There was a point where it seemed like we might not even get a complete game after two substantial rain interruptions, and a third threatening. But all that did was heighten the tension as Bangladesh looked to hunt down a revised target of 165 off 29 overs, trying to balance their required rate while also keeping an eye on the DLS par score. They were keeping up with proceedings as captain Azizul Hakim was going strong, but then entered Vihaan Malhotra, who had a gamechanging turn, taking 4 for 14, including a phenomenal catch to seal the game. India as a whole fielded excellently, and ultimately held their nerves the best.

Henil Patel to Iqbal Hossain Emon, OUT, Vihaan wins it in style! This was clubbed high and wide of long-on, but Vihaan sprints to his right and holds on with both hands to take a quite spectacular diving catch. He holds his arms wide in celebration as his teammates swarm him. What a performance it has been by the young man, and indeed this India side as a whole. Held their nerves at key moments, and were outstanding in the field as India win by 18 runs on the DLS method! Handshakes all around as well, so great sportsmanship from both sides shown as well.

Malhotra to Rizan Hossan, OUT, Nine down! And it's a fourth for Vihaan! Tossed up outside off and he has to go for it. Ends up slicing it high down to sweeper cover, who makes no mistake. And with Rizan falling here, is that the game?

Malhotra to Al Fahad, OUT, Another fantastic bit of fielding and Fahad is gone! This was full and wide, slashed to backward point for a quick single. It's a fast and accurate throw as Rizan sends Fahad back, but his stretch is not enough as the bails are whipped off in a flash.

Malhotra to Samiun Basir, OUT, Outstanding from Sooryavanshi! This is launched out to long-off, where Sooryavanshi takes the catch on the edge of the ropes, pops it up in the air as he's going out of bounds, comes back both feet in play and completes the catch. Did he touch the boundary triangle when he first caught the ball though? That's what they're trying to figure out. And it's indeed declared to be a clean catch! The calmness to do that, at this point in the game, at the age of just 14, incredible stuff from the young man!
