Already 1-0 ahead in the three-match ODI series, the visitors were confident of wrapping it up in the second match. Mushfiqur Rahim, who was leading Bangladesh, invited the Indian team to have a go with the bat first up.
In a near-perfect debut, Taskin Ahmed removed five of Indian batsmen and helped his team restrict the opponents to a meagre total of 105 runs. The stage was set for Bangladesh to get the job done and make the third match of the series a decider, which was to be played at the same venue. Stuart Binny, though, wasn't having any of it.

After Mohit Sharma had given the team a head start by clearing both the openers, Binny, within 28 deliveries, scalped half a dozen wickets, gave away just four runs and finished with astonishing figures of 4.4-2-4-6 - India's best in ODIs.
Bangladesh were bundled out before even reaching the 60-run mark as India secured the series.
