India defeated Bangladesh by six wickets in the tri-nation series ODI at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur in the inconsequential sixth One-Day International of the tri-nation series here Monday.
Chasing 248 for victory, India reached the target in 43 overs. Virat Kohli scored an unbeaten 102 while Gautam Gambhir contributed 41. 
Earlier, India won the toss and elected to field.
A captain's knock of 85 from Shakib al Hasan guided Bangladesh to a challenging 247 for six in 50 overs.
Bangladesh had their back to the wall at 95 for five, but Shakib and Mohammad Mahmudullah (64 not out) stitched a 102-run partnership to take Bangladesh to a respectable total. 
Bangladesh made a poor start after opener Imrul Kayes (9) and Mohammad Ashraful (4) paid the price for their poor shot selection and departed in successive overs. 
India's new-ball bowlers Sudip Tyagi and Sreesanth troubled the Bangaldeshi batsmen but the edges flew here and there to the boundary regularly. 
With half the side back in the pavilion for 95, Shakib and Mahmudullah played cleverly for their 102 runs. 
India's bowling in the death overs was again exposed as they gave away 95 runs in the final 10.
