Bangladesh suffered a 132-run defeat in the second one-day international as England sealed the three-match ODI series 2-0 with one match in hand Bangladesh on Friday.


The host stumbled down on 194-10 in 44.4 overs while chasing a mammoth 327-run target, which resulted as the first ODI series drubbing at home after 2016. 


England were the last team to overpower Bangladesh's dominance at home which was led by Eoin Morgan back in 2016.


Sam Curran, one of the two changes of the second match and Adil Rashid shared eight wickets together as the duo picked four wickets each to humble the Tigers in their home conditions.


Curran was the pick of they bowling attack as he returned figures of four wickets with one maiden leaking 29 in his 6.4 overs and Rashid finished with 4-0-45-10.

Bangladesh's top orders crumbled when Sam took two consecutive wickets in the very first over, he returned Liton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto for golden ducks. Bangladesh were slumped to 9-3 when Mushfiqur Rahim (4) departed being caught behind off Curran.


Then Shakib al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal stitched a 79-run partnership for the fourth wicket to take control of the game. Moeen Ali gave the breakthrough when he castled Tamim on 35, as the latter got caught at the long-off.


Shakib held his nerve and smashed a half-century in his 400th International match, he also top-scored for the side with 58 off 69 balls aided by five boundaries but it wasn't enough to tackle England's sovereignty.


Mahmudullah (32), Afif Hossain (23) and Taskin Ahmed (21) played short innings in the middle but they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and eventually fell short of 132 runs to reach the target.


Jason Roy struck 132 off 124 balls and Jos Buttler added a half-century as England posted a daunting 326-7 after being invited to bat first.


Bangladesh elected to bowl first and kept the tourists in check at the start, before opener Roy and skipper Buttler gave England lift-off with their fourth-wicket stand of 109.


Moeen Ali added a late blitz of 42 runs from 35 balls for reigning one-day and T20 world champions England. Sam Curran also played his part with an unbeaten 33 off 19 balls.


But top-order batsmen Phil Salt (7), James Vince (5) and first-match centurion Dawid Malan (11) all fell cheaply. Buttler took over the charge after Roy's departure until he was dismissed by Mehidy for 76 off 64 balls.


Taskin was the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers with 3-66. The final match is on Monday in Chittagong.
