Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka by 2 wickets in the laꦐst match of the league stage in the Nidahas Trophy 2018 and is now all set to lock horns with India on Sunday in t👍he finals.
In the virtual semi-final that was played iꦐn Colombo on Friday, Sri Lanka set a target of 160 runs, which Bangladesh successfully managed to ch🃏ase.
Mahmudullah smashed a superb 6 on the penultimate ball of the match for reaching the target; however, there w🐎as too much drama towards the end of the game.
It started when Shakib Al Hasan asked the two batsmen to leave batting and come out of t🐻he field while protesting against the no-ball call made by the umpire.
Even during drinks, substitute fielder Nurul Hasan had a war of words with Sri Lankan skipper Thisara Perera. And when the ma༒tter became worse, match officials had to intervene.
Not only this, even Bangladesh’s dressing room was damaged after the ‘Naagin dance’ celebrations. Glasses were shattered too, and it is alleged that a senior Bangladeshi player is involved in this act.
Meanwh🌱ile, fans on Twitter seems toꦓ be very angry and is slamming Bangladesh for their exploits in Colombo.
Here are some of the tweets:
Dear you banned the other day, what plans with the side for such poor behavior. This is a terrible endorsement and advertisement of the gentleman's game!

Well done .. I would like to send more glass panes so that you can smash it on each other's head! Dear .. on behalf of I'm asking what's the way ahead with these

How many 🧸demerit points today? Many more than in South Africa I would imagine!

This is the state of the Bangladesh 🐷dressing-room at Premadasa. Local sources at the ground confir𒁏m damage but are not yet releasing the name of the player who did the damage. will definitely be taking a closer look.

Well won, Bangladesh, but the drama was uncalled for.
This was way, way worse than what Rabada did.
I hope ICC are ꦑreally harsh with demerit points this time.— Abhishek Mukherjee (@ovshake42)
If Rabada gets a suspension for touching Smith, the entire Bangladesh team should be barred from p🍎laying cricket unless tౠhey learn to behave! Pathetic representation of the game.

Not impressed by Shakib’s instincts as captain & leader. Wanting to call his players off the field b🍒ecause of umpiring decisions. Nearly denied Bangladesh one of their gr🍰eatest wins.

Not hearing the wo🍸rd ‘Sorry’ in Shakib’s post match reactions about his behaviour.🌊 Disappointing.

Cou🅷rtney Walsh is the kind of cricketer who de💧clined to run out the non-striker backing out of the crease because he thought it unsportsmanlike. He will be deeply ashamed of the behaviour of the team he is now coaching.
— Anand Vasu (@anandvasu)
Shakib may end up as Bangladesh’s greatest cricketer, but in the maturity department he’🌊s sorely lacking.
