Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed was visibly angry after a major fielding lapse denied him a wicket during the 1st T20I against West Indies at the MA Aziz Stadium in Chattogram.
The incident took place in the fourth over of the innings when Alick Athanaze mistimed a heave off a full delivery from Taskin. The ball went high in the air toward mid-wicket, where both Nurul Hasan and Nasum Ahmed ran back but failed to communicate. The ball eventually landed just beyond their reach, allowing Athanaze to pick up two runs.
Taskin was seen expressing his frustration immediately after the missed opportunity, gesturing in disappointment toward his teammates. His anger was justified — the ball had stayed in the air long enough for a catch, but neither fielder committed to a dive.
The over turned costly for Bangladesh, as Athanaze quickly followed up the reprieve with three boundaries, taking Taskin’s figures to 2-0-19-0. The moment summed up Bangladesh’s early struggles on the field, giving West Indies crucial momentum in the powerplay.
