But Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli played to their strengths to seal India&#39;s sixth Asia Cup trophy, their first in the Twenty20 format of the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I thought 135 or 140 was a good score to defend here,&quot; Mashrafe was quoted as saying by a website on Monday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;If we could score 20 runs more or take one or two more early wickets, the match could have been different.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mashrafe believes the toss played an important part in deciding the outcome of the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;The wicket was pretty good to bat on in the second innings. Obviously, losing the toss was one of the keys.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Agency<\/strong><br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
