Sylhet: There was huge chaos in the second T20 match played between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This match between the two teams was played at Sylhet Cricket Stadium. In the match, Sri Lankan team batted first and scored 165 runs. Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar made a steady start for the Bangladeshi team chasing the target of 166 runs. For the Bangladeshi team, both of them together scored 28 runs in the first three overs. As soon as Binura Fernando brought the fourth over for Sri Lanka, he dismissed Soumya Sarkar on the very first ball.
Binura Fernando’s ball took the inside edge of Soumya’s bat and was in the wicketkeeper’s glove. After the appeal, the on-field umpire raised his finger for out to the batsman, but Soumya Sarkar took DRS. In the video replay of DRS, it was clearly visible on the snickometer that the ball had reached the wicketkeeper with the edge of the bat, but the surprising thing was that third umpire Masoodur Rahman gave not out to Soumya Sarkar. After this, huge ruckus was seen again on the field.

However, Soumya Sarkar could not take advantage of this and was out after scoring 26 runs. However, Nazmul Hasan Shanto, who came to bat at number three, played a strong role and played an important role in helping Bangladesh win by 8 wickets by scoring 53 runs in 38 balls.
