What happened
Pakistan's total was built on Usman Khan's century, and for most of the chase it looked enough: India needed 86 from the last eight overs with two wickets left when Chauhan and Ulva came together.
The final was a rematch with history: Pakistan had beaten India in last year's final and in the group stage on 8 November.
