England complete a close win beating a fighting Bangladesh side by 2 wickets. The target of 261 was chased down by England in 48.5 overs with 8 wickets down.
The visitors also go on to win the 3-ODI series 2-0 with a game to play.It was a fantastic game of One day Cricket. The home side gave a tough fight to England who struggled against a quality spin attack but it was Eoin Morgan's classy knock of 110* that sealed the deal for the visitors.
It wasn't the best of starts chasing a tricky total but Skipper Cook (60) played a fine innings at the top while later on Morgan joined hands with Prior (42) to provide some resistance in the middle.
For Bangladesh, Razzak (3/52) gave the visitors a tough time early on but it was Shakib's spell (3/32) that put England in big trouble towards the end. Despite all of that, Morgan was going pretty strong at one end and in the second last over, he completed a fine victory for his side.
He also became the first player in the ODI history to smash hundreds for two countries, England today and Ireland earlier.
He was rightly chosen as the Man of the Match.That's it for today. England have clinched the 3-ODI series 2-0 and they will look to clean sweep Bangladesh in the final match on 5th March. Do join us for that game. Good Bye! Cheers!
