Notably, a similar act was done by the Bangladeshi players after they defeated the Lankans in the 2018 Nidahas Trophy.

While Sri Lanka and Afghanistan qualified for the Super Four from Group B, Bangladesh was eliminated after losing both of their matches.

The first innings of the game ebbed and flowed throughout, with both teams throwing punches, but Bangladesh eventually succeeded in posting a competitive total of 183/7 in 20 overs.

Bangladesh batted first and promoted Mehidy Hasan Miraz (38 off 26) to open the innings, and he gave them a flying start. But in the middle overs, Sri Lanka fought back, taking wickets at regular intervals.

The innings then gained momentum when Afif Hossain came on and grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck on his way to a 22-ball 39. He put up a 57-run stand off 37 balls for the fifth wicket before getting out in the 17th innings.

Mosaddek Hossain (24 not out off 9) and Taskin Ahmed (11 off 6) kept up the momentum, scoring 24 runs off 11 balls for Bangladesh to reach 183-7. Wanindu Hasaranga de Silva took 2/41, while Chamika Karunaratne scored 2/32 for Sri Lanka.
