Chasing a stiff target of 308, India folded for 228 in 46 overs. Left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman (5/50) made a dream debut to fashion the victory for the home team.

It was Bangladesh's only fourth win in 30 ODI matches against their mighty neighbours, which also avenged their controversial World Cup quarter-final loss that started hostility among the two cricketing boards, and culminated with the resignation of Bangladesh's Mustafa Kamal as International Cricket Council (ICC) president.

The Indian run chase began healthily with openers Rohit Sharma (63) and Shikhar Dhawan (30) putting together a 95-run stand.

Rohit scored his fifty off 52 balls with three boundaries and a six.

But Dhawan's 16th over dismissal, edging an attempted uppercut off Taksin Ahmed, started an unexpected downward spiral that put India in trouble.

Virat Kohli (1) hung his bat loosely at a wide delivery that took an edge. Rohit followed him soon after, managing only a leading edge off a Mustafiz Rahman cutter.

Ainkya Rahane (9) and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (5) also departed soon as India slumped from a position of strength at 95/1 to 128/5 in 28.3 overs.

Suresh Raina (40) and Ravindra Jadeja tried to put up a resistance but that was swiftly nipped in the bud for Bangladesh's ninth consecutive home win.

Earlier, Bangladesh put up a gritty batting display to post a strong 307 runs.

Openers Taim Iqbal (60) and Soumya Sarkar (54) and middle-order batters Shakib Al Hasan (52) and Sabbir Rahman (41) contributed richly for the hosts to put up a challenging target for their more fancied opponents.

India's premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was the most successful bowler with 3/51 in his stipulated 10 overs.
