DHAKA: Bangladesh won their first ever one-day series against Pakistan with a seven-wicket victory in Dhaka on Sunday that gave the hosts a 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Chasing Pakistan's 239 for six, Bangladesh rode on Tamim Iqbal's unbeaten 116 to cruise home in the 39th over at the Sher-e-Bangla stadium.

Bangladesh had won the first match by 79 runs at the same venue on Friday. The third and final match will also be played in Dhaka on Wednesday.
