Tigers mark historic series win

Bangladesh took a historic series win over 2-time world champions India by six wickets, after rookie paceman Mustafizur Rahman’s second consecutive 5-wicket haul helped restrict Virat Kohli’s side to 200 all out in the 2nd ODI of the three-match Za n’ Zee Series.
Two hours lost due to rain however, reduced Bangladesh’s target to 200 off 47 over at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
Sunday’s six-wicket win also helped the Tigers claim a spot in the 2017 Champions Trophy, news agencies reported.
The 19-year old tore through the much-vaunted India batting line-up to become the first player to pick up 11 wickets in his first two ODIs.
With two successive five-wicket hauls, he also equalled the record of Zimbabwe seamer Brian Vitori.
Mustafizur left India batsman clueless as Bangladesh skittled out the tourists for 200 in 45 overs in the rain-shortened game.
The hosts were given a revised target of 200 in 47 overs.
Although, the tourists fought back with regular inroads, the Tigers never looked in trouble as they cruised to the win with … balls to spare and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Bangladesh are now on a winning run of 10 matches on the trot with the famous win.
