Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman produced a scintillating bowling display as Bangladesh made history by defeating the visitors by six wickets in the rain-hit 2nd ODI to gain an series-winning 2-0 lead in the three-match series at Mirpur and also book a place at next year's ICC Champions Trophy
Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman(19), who starred in the first ODI with a 5-wicket haul -5/50(9.2 Overs), once again came out with flying colours as he cut through the Indian batting line-up with his 6/43(10 Overs)
Thereby, the left-arm pacer become only the second bowler after Zimbabwe's Brian Vittori to claim a five-for in his first two matches -5/30 and 5/20 Vs Bangladesh in 2011
But he is the only one to have taken 11 wickets in his first two ODIs
Mustafizur's figures in the second ODI, the 3rd best by any Bangladesh bowler in ODIs.
The only other Bangladesh bowlers to take 6-wicket hauls are Mashrafe Mortaza (6/26 Vs Kenya 2006) and Rubel Hossain (6/26 Vs NZ 2013).
This is Bangladesh's first ever ODI series win over India.

Also this win is Bangladesh 10th successive victory at home - five against Zimbabwe, three against Pakistan, and two against India.
Rain reduced the match to a 47-over contest, and India did not last long after the break. They were bowled out for 200 in 45 overs, failing to play two overs
The match was reduced to 47 overs after a two-hour rain delay with Bangladesh set a winning total of 200 under the Duckworth-Lewis calculation.
Chasing a comfortable target,Openers Tamim Iqbal and Soumya Sarkar took the hosts off to a steady start, cantering to 33 for 0 in five overs. However, Dhawal Kulkarni gave India the first breakthrough in the seventh over by picking up Tamim for 13.
Right-hander Soumya and Litton forged a half-century partnership to give Bangladesh the required momentum. But Das lost his concentration and played a lose shot giving a simple catch to Dhoni at 36.
But there was no reason for Bangladesh to worry as Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib stitched another 54-run stand for the fourth wicket. Mushfiqur was run out for 31 trying to come back for a second run but was undone by Dhoni's quick work.
Shakib Al Hasan slammed an unbeaten 62-ball 51 to power Bangladesh home in the 38th over. Sabbir Rahman remained unbeaten on 22 when the winning runs were scored
