Bangladesh won by 5 runs
PLAYER OF THE MATCH : Mehidy Hasan Miraz
Batter
Bowler
Two games, two victories and magical wins they were as well for Bangladesh. Teams rarely win needing 50-plus off the final wicket or after being 69/6 batting first, but they have done it in successive games. Mehidy the man who has led what's been a collective effort from the home side. They've definitely outplayed their more fancied opponents and a whitewash looms large on Rohit's India. Can they avoid it and end the series on a high? Or will the Bangla juggernaut continue? We'll know in a few days time. On that note, this is Hari Sadanandan signing off on behalf of Raju Peethala, Kumar Abhisekh Das, MS Ramakrishnan and Mukesh. Cheers!
Litton Das | Bangladesh captain: Very happy, to win in my first series as captain, it feels good. We felt that 240-250 was a good score. We were under pressure but they (Mahmudullah and Mehidy) were brilliant. Don't know what their conversations were, but what they did was simply superb. I wanted to rotate my main bowlers around because it was a good pitch in the second half, so I couldn't afford to bowl too many of my main bowlers early on. The focus for the next game will also be about winning.
Before leaving, Mehidy speaks in Bengali to the crowd, thanking them for their support.
Mehidy Hasan | Player of the Match: All credit goes to God for giving me an opportunity to do this. Nothing else to say. Feels very good. Last few years, I have worked hard on the batting and focused on certain areas to improve. My coaches have given me a lot of information on improving my game. Riyad Bhai (Mahmudullah) kept telling me that we need to keep playing deep into the innings and the conversations were mostly about keeping small targets of partnerships. I was just trying to hit the good areas with the ball and put pressure on them.
Rohit Sharma | India captain: It (thumb injury) isn't too great. Some dislocation and some stitches. Fortunately, not a fracture and so, I was able to bat. When you lose a game, there are positives and negatives. From being 69/6, allowing them to get to 270-odd wasn't a great effect from our bowlers. We started well but the middle overs and the back end is what's hurting us a lot. Happened in the last game as well. It's something we need to work on. Not taking anything away from Mehidy and Mahmudullah, was a great partnership but we also need to find ways of breaking such partnerships. In One-Day cricket, it's about partnerships and when you get those, you have to ensure that they are converted to match-winning partnerships. That's what they did. If you get those 70-run stands, you need to convert them into 110-120 run partnerships for the team to win games, as it isn't easy for the new batter. Need to be braver in the middle. There are few injury concerns, we need to get to the bottom of this. Need to try and monitor them, because it's important to understand this. When they come to play for India, they need to be at more than 100 percent. We need to monitor their workload because we can't have guys coming in to play for the country half-fit.
20:22 Local Time, 14:22 GMT, 19:52 IST: Memorable series win for Bangladesh, their second successive one at home against India, seven years apart. They haven't lost a home ODI series since October 2016, so the result shouldn't really be surprising but it's still one that not many expected. Rohit tried his best at the end, walking out half-fit and launching into an array of shots, but he fell one big shot away from taking India across the line. Axar and Iyer were impressive earlier in the chase after India had slipped to a precarious situation. Bangladesh's bowlers were clinical with the new-ball and then responded well in the key moments to ensure that the series was sealed with a game in hand. All the bowlers did their part but Ebadot and Shakib were the standouts, with Mehidy also picking up two crucial wickets to add to this superlative ton early in the day.

Mustafizur to Rohit, no run, Mustafizur holds his nerve and Bangladesh seal the series! Perfect leg-stump yorker, nothing much Rohit can do except dig it out. The crowd in Mirpur is now deafening with their noise
Litton is having a chat with Mustafizur.
Mustafizur to Rohit, SIX, two sixes needed, there is one of them! What a finish we're having! Rohit stays on the back foot this time for the off-cutter and goes straight down the ground. Easily clears the rope. Wow, what drama! Fifty for Rohit and it's been an exceptional fight from the wounded skipper
Mustafizur to Rohit, no run, swing and a miss! Third man had dropped to the fence, so Rohit was forced to go leg-side and he tries the sweep. Misses it completely
Mustafizur to Rohit, FOUR, yes, he can! The field has to change, you'd think, because this is too easy. Nobody sweeping behind square on the off-side and Rohit once again uses the angle of Mustafizur's off-cutter. Steers it away through the gap at backward point
One more boundary here will really heat things up. Can Rohit find it?
Mustafizur to Rohit, FOUR, finds the boundary this time! Better percentage shot from Rohit as he goes on the off-side, with the angle of the off-cutter and deliberately slices this away. Third man is up and it goes away to the fence
Mustafizur to Rohit, no run, play and a miss! That off-cutter outside off, Rohit looks to go straight down the ground but doesn't connect at all
Umran Malik, right handed bat, comes to the crease
So, 20 needed off 6 balls. Fizz to Rohit. Last wicket.

Mahmudullah to Siraj, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! It was basically a free hit for Siraj with it being the last ball of the over and he tries to pull this hard. But it's the quicker one that keeps very low and sneaks well under the bat. Timber! Siraj b Mahmudullah 2(12)
Mahmudullah to Siraj, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!
Mahmudullah to Rohit, 1 run, Rohit has been dropped again! Anamul the man at deep backward square leg and he has put down the skier. A juicy full toss, should have been put into the stands but Rohit doesn't get hold of the slog at all. Fortunate to survive
Mahmudullah to Rohit, 2 runs, full and slow, Rohit steps out and whips it away to wide long-on. Brisk running and they get a brace
