Shakib Al Hasan produced a brilliant all-round display as Bangladesh avoided a series whitewash by beating England by 50 runs in the final ODI.
Shakib struck 75 off 71 balls and picked up 4-35, while both Najmul Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim also struck half-centuries and Ebadot Hossain and Taijul Islam took two wickets apiece. Having lost the first two ODIs by three wickets and 132 runs respectively as they succumbed to a first ODI series defeat at home since 2016, Bangladesh bounced back brilliantly in Chattogram to record a thumping victory.
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Bangladesh posted their highest total of the series as they were bowled out for 246, with Shanto, Mushfiqur and Shakib all scoring impressive half-centuries. Sam Curran was excellent with the new ball for England once again, dismissing openers Litton Das and Tamim Iqbal cheaply, while Jofra Archer picked up three wickets at the death to end with impressive figures of 3-35 from his 8.5 over spell.
