Notably, before this match, he was battling a brief lean patch, failing to score against Ireland in two matches back in August and in the opening Asian Games match against Nepal. He also did not fire in his ODI debut during Asia Cup against Bangladesh.
Coming to the match, spells from Sai Kishore (3/12) and Washington Sundar (2/15) helped restrict Bangladesh to 96/9 in 20 overs, with wicketkeeper Jaker Ali top-scoring with 24*.
In the chase, India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck but fifty from Tilak (55*) and Gaikwad's (40*) helped India book a spot in final.
India will play Afghanistan, who defeated Pakistan in other semifinal, in the title clash. (ANI)
