Despite her protests, the decision stood, and the match ended in a tie as Bangladesh made a sensational comeback after a rain break, causing India to lose their last six wickets dramatically for just 34 runs. Ultimately, one run was needed to win off the last four balls, but India's Meghna Akther was caught, leading to the tie.
