Dhaka, Dec 27: India restored their pride with a commanding performance to thrash Bangladesh by 91 runs in the third and final cricket one-day international here today and clinch the series 2-1.
The Indians produced a strong batting performance to post a mammoth 348 for five, with Yuvraj Singh blasting one of the quickest half centuries after Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag set the platform with a century opening stand.

The hosts were never in the contest and the early loss of wickets deflated whatever hopes they might have nursed. Rajin Saleh played a fighting knock of 82, but it hardly enough as Bangladesh eventually finished at 257 for nine.
The comprehensive victory helped the Indians avenged their shock defeat to the minnows in the second match yesterday, and round off their 22-day tour with a 2-1 series win in the one-dayers.
India had won the two Tests by innings margin earlier, and today's victory ended an year of ups and down on a positive note. (Agencies)
