The Bangladesh veteran Mushfiqur Rahim had a special gesture for Sri Lankan all-rounder Angelo Mathews, who famously was t imed out in the ODI World Cup 2023 clash against the Bangla Tigers in Delhi. With that moment last year, Mathews became the first batter in international cricket history.
Mushfiqur Rahim played a vital role in Bangladesh defeating Sri Lanka in a four-wicket victory and the hosts comfortably chased down the 236-run target in 40.2 overs and sealed the ODI series with a 2-1 margin. Rahim scored an unbeaten 37 while Tanzid Hasan chipped in with 84 in 81 balls and then Rishad Hossain smashed a blistering 18-ball 48 to clinch the victory.

After winning the match and the series, the Bangladeshi team went ahead to pose with the trophy. But as the Tigers got ready for the camera, Mushfiqur Rahim came in front of the entire team with a broken helmet and complained about it. Moments the entire Bangladesh team burst into laughter as they celebrated with the trophy.
Very important for us the Test championship: Najmul Hossain Shanto
Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the Player of the Series award and then deemed this victory as a crucial performance concerning the team's morale going forward in the World Test Championship. Shanto said, "Tanzid batted really well at the start, the way Mushi batted, I think it helped Rishad's innings."
"On a wicket like this, the bowlers showed a lot of character, the pacers bowled well and Mehidy also bowled well in the middle overs. Very important for us the Test championship. Last season, we won a match against New Zealand and it's important that we play well this time," he continued.
