Shakib had seen the leg-umpire indicating a no-ball on the second ball. But then the umpire gave him a runout but did not give a no-ball. Because of this, Bangladesh needed 12 runs in 4 balls instead of 5.
Amidst the heat, the Sri Lankan player asked the substitute fielder to leave and pushed him in the other direction. This push further increased the advance of the conversation, and the players started pointing fingers at each other.
All the players in Bangladesh were shouting at the boundary. The game was halted for a long time, and Shakib Al Hasan started signalling his batters to return. After a long debate, the match resumed, and Mahmudullah hit a six off the 5th ball to give Bangladesh victory.

And gradually, it went through the cringe and reached the level of disrespect. Bangladesh also got the full answer in the last match of the series. Afghanistan players.
Nazmul Islam performed the Nagin dance after Afghanistan’s keeper and batsman Mohammad Shahzad was dismissed in the last match. Shahzad did not like this. Another reason for doing this was that the ball had hit the pads from his bat, and since the series did not feature DRS, he had to go back without a review.
Bangladesh needed 9 runs to win in the last over of the match. And Rashid Khan dismissed Mushfiqur on the very first ball. Mushfiqur had hit 5 consecutive fours in the previous over.
Bangladesh needed 4 runs to win off the last ball, and due to Shafiqullah’s brilliant fielding on the boundary, they could run only 2 runs, and Mahmudullah was run out by keeper Shahzad while taking the third run. Now it was Shahzad’s turn to dance the Nagin. Other players from Afghanistan performed the Nagin dance in front of Bangladeshi players.
