Chasing 178 runs for victory, the target was revised to 170 in 46 overs following a brief spell of rain meaning the Bangladeshi colts needed just seven runs off 30 balls with three wickets in hand when play resumed.
Bangladeshi skipper Akbar Ali, who remained 43 not out, guided the team home to clinch their maiden world cup title after a historic run-chase.
