Bangladesh witnessed a forgettable outing in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2021 Qualifiers in Oman. Their chances of making it to the Super 12 look slim as they lost their first match against Scotland on October 17 after losing their two warm-up matches. As soon as the match got over, Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah was addressing the media in the post-match conference. However, there was another aspect that caught the attention of netizens.
As soon as Mahmudullah started speaking in Bengali, he was interrupted by fans cheering for Scotland as they played their national anthem continuously. Bangladesh skipper was patient enough to wait and tried to start again but was interrupted again by loud cheering by the fans. The video of the same was shared by ICC on their official IG handle.
Talking of the match between Bangladesh and Scotland, Scotland pulled off an unexpected 6-run win after posting 140 runs on the board. It is clear that Bangladesh’s woes continue on foreign land as they failed to get going once again in front of an average score.

It remains to be seen if they will be able to better up their chances going forward. Chris Greaves received the player of the match award for his crucial 45 off 28. Later, Cricket Scotland also took a sly dig on the Bangladesh skipper’s reaction.

Talking about the game, Mhamudullah said, “I think the wicket was quite good and 140 was gettable. We were missing that one big over in the middle. Bowlers did their job really well but the batting unit weren’t good enough tonight. (If Bangladesh were complacent when Scotland were 53/6) Don’t think so, we were just one wicket away. Credit goes to their batters, they had a good finish.”

He further added, “Yeah, when you can’t chase 140, there needs to be a look-in, need to correct the mistakes. We still need to be positive and figure out where we made mistakes, and not try to repeat them. Beautiful wicket to bat on, fantastic ground and crowd, we need to pull our socks up and play better cricket.”
