India prevail over Bangladesh, are into Asia Cup final
Abhishek shares a blistering opening-wicket stand of 77 runs in 6.2 overs with Shubman Gill (29) that gives India a strong start
India defeated Bangladesh by 41 runs to march int the finals of the Asia Cup.
Earlier, opener Abhishek Sharma hammered a 37-ball 75 but the rest of the batters failed to produce a big score as India settled for a par 168 for six against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup Super 4s match here on Wednesday.
Abhishek shared a blistering opening-wicket stand of 77 runs in 6.2 overs with Shubman Gill (29) that gave India a strong start.

Hardik Pandya (38 off 29 balls) made some cavalier blows at the business end to take the total past 150.
