Apart from the whole action of the match, an incident happened in the match during the first innings of Sri Lanka which went viral over social media. It all happened when Sri Lankan southpaw played the Bangladeshi spinner behind the wickets. The wicketkeeper happened to drop the catch, and it went away from him, gully fielder immediately rushed to the ball.
Gully's fielder who rushed to the ball earlier, tried to throw it to the bowler’s end but he eventually happened to throw it extremely far from the stumps and it resulted in an overthrow. This fielding dilemma makes the batter easily run for four runs.
