Skipper Mushfiqur Rahim hit 117 off 113 balls to lift the hosts to 279-7 in the Asia Cup match against world champion India in Fatullah on Wednesday. Rahim's second one-day century followed his 133-run stand for the third wicket with Anamul Haque (77) after India won the toss and elected to field in the day-night match. Rahim hit seven four and two sixes before he was dismissed in the final over attempting a big hit. Anamul and Rahim came together after opener Shamsur Rahman and Mominul Haque had been removed by the 13th over with the score at 49. Anamul smashed fast bowler Varun Aaron for two sixes to long-on and then reached his half-century with another six off Ravichandran Ashwin over the bowler's head, according to espncricinfo.com.
