However, the tournament was won by India who defeated Bangladesh in the final. Bangladesh gained upper hand over India in one of the league matches.

Pitch Condition/Report: Mercantile Cricket Association Ground stood host for only one professional match – A T20I between South Africa and the hosts back in 2014.
