Mushfiqur’s ton helps Bangladesh clinch series

The 103-run win gives hosts a 2-0 lead

Mushfiqur Rahim hit a gritty 125 to lift Bangladesh to 246 after it had lost early wickets in the rain-hit second ODI against Sri Lanka on Tuesday. In reply, the visitors were restricted to 141 for nine in 40 overs after another downpour reduced the number of overs. Sri Lanka was never in the hunt as off-spinner Mehidy Hasan, opening the bowling again, took three for 28 in 10 overs. Left-arm seamer Mustafizur Rahman bagged three for 16 in six overs while left-arm spinner Shakib Al Hasan finished with two for 38 in a nine-over spell. Earlier, Bangladesh was in trouble at 74 for four when Mushfiqur put on 87 for the fifth wicket with Mahmdullah (41).
