Watch: Bangladesh hilariously mock Angelo Mathews’ timeout dismissal in series win celebration

The Bangladesh cricket team outclassed Sri Lanka in the decisive third ODI earlier today (March 18) to win the three-match bilateral series 2-1. However, it was the celebration of the Bangla Tigers that stole the limelight. 

The Bangladesh players took a dig at Angelo Mathews’ iconic timed-out dismissal that occurred during last year’s ODI World Cup in India when the two nations had locked horns in the group stage. 

What had happened was Angelo Mathews came out to bat but his helmet strap wasn’t working properly. In order to fix and replace it, he had taken some added time to settle down.

The Bangladesh players were visibly not happy with the delay and appealed for a timeout following which the two umpires adjudged Mathews out, which is within the law.

Clearly, the animosity between both countries has not dissipated completely since then and was prevalent in Bangladesh’s celebration today. 

After the win, as the players got ready to pose with the trophy, star batter Mushfiqur Rahim could be seen holding a helmet in his hand while enacting there’s something faulty with it. 

Roar of the L̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ Tigers 🐅

P.S.: Don’t miss Mushfiqur’s celebration with the helmet.
