England opener Jason Roy hit a superb century and skipper Jos Buttler made 76 before Adil Rashid and Sam Curran grabbed four wickets each as the tourists beat Bangladesh by 132 runs in the second ODI on Friday for a 2-0 series victory.
Roy made a 124-ball 132 with 18 fours and a six to lay the platform for a commanding 326/7 in 50 overs, after Tamim Iqbal won the toss and surprisingly opted to bowl on a Mirpur wicket he called “tacky”.
Needing a victory to avoid their first bilateral ODI series home defeat since 2016-17, Bangladesh lost two wickets in two balls in Curran’s opening over and another in his next to eventually be dismissed for 194 in 44.4 overs.
Shakib Al Hasan (58), Iqbal (35) and Mahmudullah (32) all gave the hosts a glimmer of hope but incisive bowling by Rashid (4/45) and Curran (4/29) snuffed out their chances.
Earlier, Roy got off to a stuttering start but saw off the Bangladesh spinners with some unconventional sweeping and went on the attack as he approached his 12th hundred, lofting Mehidy Hasan Miraz for a six to get to 97.
After completing his century, Roy went after paceman Taskin Ahmed in the 35th over with back-to-back boundaries but fell lbw shortly after as he attempted a sweep off Shakib. His fourth-wicket stand with Buttler yielded 109 runs.
Buttler made a run-a-ball 50 before falling to leave them at 260/6 in the 44th over. But a big total was never in doubt for the world champions.
Moeen Ali hit a quick-fire 42 to take them close to the 300- run mark while Curran made an unbeaten 33.
Brief scores: England 326/7 in 50 overs (J. Roy 132, J. Buttler 76; T. Ahmed 3/66); Bangladesh 194 in 44.4 overs (S. Al-Hasan 58; S. Curran 4/29, A. Rashid 4/45). England won by 132 runs.
