India Win Series 2-0 After Wash-out

Dhaka: India took the ODI series against Bangladesh 2-0 after the third and final match at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium was abandoned after heavy and persistent.

India's innings had been hit by three rain stoppages, the third of which proved to be decisive in forcing the match officials to call of the game. It came with the tourists reeling at 119 for 9 in 34.2 overs.

On the same pitch used in Tuesday's low-scoring second ODI, India produced their second abject batting performance in a row after opting to bat. Bangladesh's honest and probing seam bowlers used the overcast conditions to good effect; then they had nipped out three wickets 9.1 overs but today they India on the mat at 16 for 4 in 9.3 overs, either side of the first rain interval. When play resumed a second time following a two-hour delay, India were pulled back from 37 for 4 to 90 for 7, with Shakib Al Hasan spinning out three wickets.

Robin Uthappa (5 off 13) and Ajinkya Rahane (3 off 18) both nicked to the slip cordon off Mashrafe Mortaza and Al-Amin Hossain respectively, leaving India at 8 for 2 in 5.2 overs. That became 13 for 3 when Taskin Ahmed struck with his first ball to get Ambati Rayudu (1) fending to Mushfiqur Rahim.

Rain interrupted Bangladesh's charge three balls into Taskin's spell and the players were forced off for 20 minutes. Soon into the resumption, Manoj Tiwary - playing his first ODI since August 2012 - edged Al-Amin to second slip, yet another dismissal down to a probing channel just outside off stump and insecure judgement from an Indian batsman.

Wriddhiman Saha looked good briefly with some crisp shots but his wicket, bowled for 16 when making room needlessly to Shakib, saw India lose three wickets for eight runs. Pujara's laborious 63-ball 27 ended when Shakib trapped him lbw first ball of the 27th over, and moments later Taskin extracted Akshar Patel (1).

At 97 for 8, India looked in danger of being bowled out for under 100 but Stuart Binny found some support from Mohit Sharma, who resisted 13 balls for one run until he was ninth out at 119 in the 34th over.

Rain hit again, and there was no return to the field here on.

Earlier, India have won the toss and decided to bat.
