Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim played a Scintillating knock to guide his team beat Sri Lanka by five wickets in the high octane Nidahas Trophy’s 3rd T20I on Saturday. The right-hander scored an unbeaten 72 off 35 balls as Bangladesh chased down the target of 215 with 2 balls to spare. He struck 4 sixes and 5 boundaries in a display of high-quality batting under pressure. Mushfiqur complimented his knock with an equally memorable celebration, which many fans described as a ‘Nagin dance’. On hitting the winning runs, Mushfiqur couldn’t control his emotions as jumped, screamed, fist-pumped and broke into a little gig.
“To be honest, from the beginning we thought we could win. Tamim and Liton gave us a good start. Then Mushy was outstanding,” Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah said after the win.
“It was amazing to see and good inspiration for us.”
Apart from Rahim, openers Tamim Iqbal (47) and Liton Das (43) also played valuable innings in Bangladesh’s famous win.
