DHAKA: Mushfiqur Rahim hit a gritty 125 to set up Bangladesh’s maiden series victory over Sri Lanka across all formats with an emphatic 103-run win in the rain-hit second one-day international on Tuesday.

48.1 overs: Bangladesh 246 (Mushfiqur 125, Chameera 3-44, Sandakan 3-54) v Sri Lanka
Mushfiqur Rahim s one-man show helped Bangladesh reach a fighting 246 in the second ODI. Sri Lanka never let the home side settle into partnerships, but they couldn t quite contain Rahim, who reached his eighth ODI century. Rahim scored fluently despite the regular loss of wickets at the other end and two rain breaks when he was in his nineties.
Rahim was the last man out, ruing missing out on the last 11 balls as he fell at the start of the 49th over. He struck ten fours in his 125 off 127 balls, and found very little support at the other end apart from an 87-run fifth wicket stand with Mahmudullah. He was left to bat with the tail in the last ten overs, when Bangladesh had only three wickets in hand.
