Nidahas Trophy 2018: Mahmudullah vents his anger post dismissal

The Nidahas Trophy for the T20 triangular series recently came to a close. The series was organized to celebrate Sri Lanka’s 70th independence anniversary. India and Bangladesh locked horns in yesterday’s Final at the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Bangladesh was in contention for a chunk of the game. However, India managed to brush them aside courtesy Dinesh Karthik‘s blitz with the willow.

Apart from some riveting encounters, the series was also a witness to some heated exchanges between the players. Shakib Al Hasan and Nurul Hasan were slapped with demerit points following their breach of ICCs Code of Conduct. Yesterday’s game also saw a moment of anger from a senior Bangladeshi cricketer- Mahmudullah Riyad.

Mahmudullah’s horrendous run-out

The incident panned out after his dismissal during Bangladesh’s innings. The all-rounder had been in prime form with some stupendous knocks under his belt. He was expected to churn out another master-class and shepherd Bangladesh during the final showdown of the tournament. He took charge after the dismissal of Mushfiqur Rahim.

He threatened to take the game away and smacked a couple of boundaries. Meanwhile, Sabbir Rahman looked determined to notch a substantial score. The duo stitched together a partnership of 36 runs off 25 balls and looked ominous for the Indians. However, just when the stand looked to tee off, thunder stroke for  Bangladesh and Mahmudullah perished in an unfortunate manner.

The cricketer was involved in a horrible mix-up, which resulted in his run-out. Vijay Shankar bowled an off-cutter which was missed by Mahmudullah. Sabbir saw an opportunity for a single and hurled down the wicket and reached the batting crease. However, Mahmudullah was late in reacting and took few steps down the wicket.

Karthik reacted quickly and threw the ball to Shankar who took off the bails with ease. The Bangladeshi all-rounder was gutted by the dismissal and subsequently, he kicked the railings of the staircase on his way to the dressing room.
