Earlier India had Bangladesh on the mat at 69 for six before last game hero Miraz (100 from 83 balls) stitched up an epic 148 runs from 165 balls partnership with Mahmudullah (77 from 96) to help the home team reach a fight total. .
Miraz saved his best for the 50th when he crushed Shardul Thakur for some sixes, including a well-timed pickup shot, before hitting triple figures in the final ball of the innings.
The visitors had struggled to take the decisive last wicket of the series opener and also ran out of ideas on Wednesday after more than half of the Bangladesh outfit were sent back to the locker room in 19th place.
Miraz got a lot of his wicket runs as he filled his gaps, especially against spinners. He ended up with eight limits and four sixes. Mahmudullah also gained confidence as his rounds progressed. It took a brilliant one-handed catch from KL Rahul to send him back and end a memorable position.
Pacemen Mohammad Siraj (2/73) troubled batters with his inbound deliveries, Umran Malik (2/58) used his fast pace to good effect while offie Washington Sundar (3/37) hampered them with the rebound additional.
Siraj got his revenge as he was hit for consecutive boundaries by Anamul Haque (11 of 9). The Indian pacer set up Haque with a few outswingers before bringing one back to trap him in front of the stumps.
Siraj’s next wicket came in the 10th when the dangerous Litton Das (7 of 23) had no idea of his in-swinger from a good length.
Malik, entering the team in place of injured Kuldeep Sen, tested veteran Shakib Al Hasan (8 of 20) with a barrage of short balls. It was an uncomfortable stay in the middle for Shakib who eventually fell on a spinner as he mistimed a Sundar sweep.
Like Shakib, Najmul Hossan Shanto also expected chin music, but Malik threw one at 151km/h and the southpaw was late on the ball to see his wheel off the stump.
Mehidy and Mahumudullah joined in the 20th and changed the course of the heats.
