Bangladesh takes series 2-1 and records 100th ODI win

MIRPUR: The series-deciding third ODI turned out to be a no-contest, which Bangladesh won by 141 runs to clinch the series at Mirpur on Saturday.

The match was virtually sealed in the 23rd over of Afghanistan's 280 chase, when Samiullah Shenwari was dismissed. They were eventually bowled out for 138 in 34th over to cap off a spin capitulation, led by comeback man Mosharraf Hossain, who picked up three wickets. It also happened to be their 100th ODI win.
