\"Indian<\/a>India earned a consolation 77-run win in the third one-day international against Bangladesh to avoid a whitewash in a three-match series in Dhaka on Wednesday.
\nSpinners Suresh Raina (3-45) and Ravichandran Ashwin (2-35) shared five wickets as Bangladesh, replying to India\u2019s 317-6, were shot out for 240 in 47 overs.
\nThe defeat at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium ended Bangladesh\u2019s 10-match unbeaten run on home soil that began in November 2014.
\nThe home side claimed the series 2-1 despite the loss owing to their wins in the first two matches respectively by 79 runs and six wickets.
\nSet a mammoth target, Bangladesh suffered a blow when opener Tamim Iqbal was judged leg before for five in the second over off Dhawal Kulkarni.
\nSabbir Rahman made the highest score for Bangladesh with 43 as the side lost a wicket whenever a partnership was developing.
\nSoumya Sarkar (40), Litton Das (34), Nasir Hossain (32) Mushfiqur Rahim (24) and Shakib Al Hasan (20) were all guilty of throwing their wickets away.
\nKulkarni claimed 2-34 while Stuart Binny, Axar Patel and Ambati Rayudu chipped in with wickets as India finally managed to dominate a game after the embarrassing series loss.
\nEarlier, Shikhar Dhawan made 75 and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni added 69 as India posted a challenging total.
\nBangladesh skipper Mashrafe Mortaza took three wickets for Bangladesh but conceded 76 runs in the process after he elected to field first.
\nRohit Sharma gave India a positive start before he was picked up by left-arm paceman Mustafizur Rahman for the third time in the series for 29.
\nShakib bowled Virat Kohli for 25 to end his 75-run stand with Dhawan, who later became the victim of a stunning Nasir Hossain catch at short mid-wicket off Mortaza.
\nDhoni and Ambati Rayudu did not let the momentum slip as they put on 93 for the fourth wicket.
\nRayudu was unlucky to miss out on his half-century when he was given out caught behind off Mortaza for 44. Replays suggested the ball hit only his thigh pad.
\nBangladesh managed to get rid of Dhoni before he became yet more dangerous when Mustafizur took a catch at deep midwicket off Mortaza.
\nDhoni, who promoted himself to number four in the batting order for the second time in the series, faced 77 balls for his innings that included six fours and a six.
\nRaina added a quick-fire 38 off 21 balls, helping India past the 300-run mark.
\nMustafizur bowled Raina to finish with 2-57 and take his tally to 13 in the series.
