Mushfiqur Rahim's magnificent century has helped Bangladesh set a 247-run target for the visiting Sri Lanka in the second of a three-match ODI series at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in the capital on Tuesday. 

Tigers have lost their all wickets to manage 246 runs in 48.1 overs as Mushfiqur Rahim scored 125 runs with ten 4s while Mahmudullah earned 41 runs. 

Sri Lankan bowler Lakshan Sandakan and Dushmantha Chameera bagged three wickets while Isuru Udana took two wickets.

Earlier in the day, Bangladesh skipper Tamim Iqbal elected to bat first after winning the toss.

However, both teams are eyeing the series win to move up the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League table.

The host country handed a debut to Shoriful Islam, by leaving out Taskin Ahmed and Mosaddek Hossain replaces Mohammad Mithun. Sri Lanka are unchanged.

The Tigers are currently 1-0 up in the series after winning the opening game by 33 runs that also ended their 10-match winless streak across format on Sunday.

Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal (capt), 2 Liton Das, 3 Shakib Al Hasan, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 5 Mosaddek Hossain, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Afif Hossain, 8 Mohammad Saifuddin, 9 Mehidy Hasan, 10 Shoriful Islam, 11 Mustafizur Rahman
