Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman grabbed 6-43 as Bangladesh dismissed India for 200 runs in 45 overs in the rain-hit second one-day international in Dhaka on Sunday.
Mustafizur, who claimed 5-50 on his debut in the opening match, picked up from where he left off to join Zimbabwe’s Brian Vitori as only the second man in history to take five or more wickets in the first two matches of their career.
Bangladesh were given a target of 200 runs in 47 overs according to the Duckworth/Lewis Method as play was interrupted by rain at the end of India’s innings.
Shikhar Dhawan made 53 runs while skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni chipped in with 47 as India seek to stay alive in the three-match series after a 79-run loss in the opening match.
Electing to bat first after Dhoni won the toss, India suffered the first blow in the second ball when Rohit Sharma was caught at cover by Sabbir Rahman off Mustafizur.
Dhawan and Virat Kohli steadied the innings with a 74-run second wicket stand before Bangladesh struck again through occasional off-break bowler Nasir Hossain.
Nasir, who claimed 2-33, trapped Kohli leg before for 23 and then had Dhawan caught behind soon after the opener completed his fifty.
Ambati Rayudu, one of the three changes India made for the game, followed Dhawan without scoring to leave the visitors struggling at 4-110.
Dhoni, who promoted himself at number four, put on 53 runs in the fifth wicket with Suresh Raina, but Mustafizur returned in his second spell to dismiss Raina for 34 and break the partnership.
Dhoni, dropped by wicketkeeper Das on 21, succumbed to the pressure spooning a catch to Nasir at short cover.
Mustafizur created a chance of a hat-trick trapping Axar Patel leg before off the next ball.
Ravichandran Ashwin survived the hat-trick ball but soon became Mustafizur’s fifth victim edging a catch behind the stumps for four.
Mustafizur bowled Jadeja off his final delivery after the rain break and Rubel folded India’s innings two balls later to finish with 2-26.
The third and final ODI will be held at same venue on June 24. (AFP)
