Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman struck again early and dismissed the Indian opener Rohit Sharma when the two teams meet in the third and final One Day International of a three-match series in Dhaka on Wednesday. The 19-year left-hand pacer, who got 11 wickets in last two matches, made Sharma (29) caught by Litton Das behind the stumps off a cutter in the last delivery of 7th over. India were 43/1 in 8 overs with Shikhar Dhawan batting on 8 and Virat Kohli on 3. Earlier, Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza won the toss and opted to bowl first against the visitors at Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla Cricket Stadium. Bangladesh are leading the three-match series 2-0 and looking for a Banglawash over their mighty opponents. Left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny made his first appearances of the series and replaced the fast bowler Taskin Ahmed, who suffered a side strain during the second ODI. India made two changes, with Stuart Binny replacing Ravindra Jadeja in an allrounder-for-allrounder swap and Umesh Yadav coming into the pace attack in place of Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Ambati Rayudu kept his place in the middle order, ahead of Ajinkya Rahane. Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Soumya Sarkar, 3 Litton Das, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Sabbir Rahman, 7 Nasir Hossain, 8 Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), 9 Rubel Hossain, 10 Mustafizur Rahman, 11 Arafat Sunny.
