Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and opted to bat first at the Pallekele Cricket Ground in Kandy on Thursday, August 31. Tanzid was outfoxed by a brilliant delivery by Maheesh Theekshana on the second over and didn’t want to challenge the field umpire’s decision.
Tanzid Hasan became the fourth Bangladesh opener to register a duck on his ODI debut. Overall, he became the 16th Bangladeshi cricketer to be dismissed without scoring runs. He walked from the field to the dressing room with disappointment on his face.
