But the pace combination of Stuart Binny (6-4) and Mohit Sharma (4-22) saved India from humiliation by bundling out the hosts for just 58 in 17.4 overs.
Following the nail-biting match Rajneesh Gupta presents some interesting statistics.
After winning the first game of three-match series against Bangladesh rather easily, India was in for a rude shock in the second One-Day International as they were bundled out for 105, their lowest total against Bangladesh.
Taskin Ahmed, the debutant, was the wrecker-in-chief for the home side, claiming five wickets for 28 runs in his eight overs.
His figures are the fifth best by a bowler making his ODI debut.
The young Indian side was not ready to go down without a fight, though, and medium pacers Mohit Sharma and Stuart Binny were up to the task.
They shared the ten Bangladesh wickets to fall as the hosts collapsed to 58, equalling their lowest ever total in ODIs.
It was also the lowest total by any side against India.
Binny had a memorable match, returning figures of 6 for 4 in his 4.4 overs. His figures are now the best by an Indian bowler in ODIs, bettering Anil Kumble’s 6 for 12 against the West Indies in Hero Cup final in 1993.
His figures are also the second most devastating for a bowler taking four wickets or more in a match.
India’s total is the third lowest total in game’s history that a side managed to defend.
The match aggregate of 163 is the lowest ever when teams were dismissed.
