Bangladesh v England: Tourists win one-day series 2-1

England won the one-day series against Bangladesh with a four-wicket victory in a tense deciding match in Chittagong on Wednesday.

Ben Stokes made 47 not out and Chris Woakes sealed the win with 13 balls to spare with a glorious straight six.

Opener Sam Billings impressed with 62 and Ben Duckett hit four fours and a six in his 63, reports BBC.

Spinner Adil Rashid claimed an ODI-best 4-43 in Bangladesh’s 277-6, inspired by Mushfiqur Rahim’s unbeaten 67.

It was an impressive chase from England, whose top three had a mere 14 appearances between them, compared to the 250 between Bangladesh’s top three.

The tourists now turn their attention to Test cricket, with back-to-back two-day warm-up matches this week before the first Test begins on 20 October.
