ODI series

1st ODI

2nd ODI

Gautam Gambhir's 101 was the first century to be made at the Sher-e-Bangla Mirpur Stadium and went on to help India to make the highest team total scored on the ground.

3rd ODI

The pitch was washed out due to heavy rain from the previous two days, along with heavy winds from Cyclone Akash taking their toll on the ground conditions. Four and a half hours after the planned start time the umpires called off the match, anticipating another 2 hours from 13:00 (BST) would be needed – not leaving enough time for the minimum of 20 overs each to be played. The presentation of awards, including most wickets taken (picked up by Syed Rasel of Bangladesh), most runs scored and player of the series (both won by MS Dhoni of India), were handed out at the ground later in the day.
