All-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz delivered with bat and ball as Bangladesh stunned world champions England by four wickets in a second successive upset to clinch the three-match Twenty20 series with a game to spare in Mirpur on Sunday.
Chasing 118 to win, the hosts got off to a disappointing start when they lost openers Litton Das and Rony Talukdar for single-digit scores, before Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mehidy stitched together a 41-run partnership to get them back on track.
"In a tricky game like this it was important to keep our nerve. Shanto... Mehidy, a superb innings for the team," Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan said. Jofra Archer dismissed Mehidy and Afif Hossain to end with three wickets in his four overs, but Najmul and Taskin Ahmed were able to chase down the target with seven balls to spare.
Archer's spell will be one of the few positives that England can take from the match as the speedster continues to improve after his return from a lengthy injury lay-off. Sam Curran, Moeen Ali and Rehan Ahmed also picked up a wicket apiece for England.
