Day 5 saw the play resume with Shadman Islam (7*) and Mominul Haque (0*) at the crease for Bangladesh, who were behind India by 26 runs after 11 overs. Ravichandran Ashwin's dismissal of Mominul for two early in the day gave India the advantage, as they defeated Bangladesh 36/3. Shadman Islam was joined at the crease by skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto after three early wickets, and the pair amassed 55 runs for the fourth wicket to calm the dressing room down. The happiness was short-lived, though, as Shanto (19) and Litton Das (1) were dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja after two overs of hitting.

However, Akash Deep also disregarded the determined Islam for fifty, which led to his capture at Gully. Shakib Al Hasan was caught off his bowling by Jadeja (3/34) for a two-ball duck, leaving Bangladesh at 94/7 with little chance. Bangladesh was bowled out for 146 as Jasprit Bumrah (3/17) cleaned out the tail. In response, Yashasvi Jaiswal carried on where he left off in the previous innings despite India losing skipper Rohit Sharma (8) early.

With the assistance of eight fours and a six, the southpaw blasted 51 off 45 balls and was removed just as the game was about to end. Rishabh Pant and Kohli helped India cross the finish line after he was out for 92. India went on to win the series at home for the eighteenth time in a row.
