Excitement causes confused conclusion

Elias Sunny remained the most sought-after Bangladesh player the day after their 3-2 series win. Everyone wanted to know why he didn’t complete the run that would have sealed Bangladesh’s win off the fifth ball of the 44th over. Nasir Hossain had to reconfirm the win with another shot over the covers the next ball, sparing Sunny the ire of millions. His teammates, though, gave him an earful later in the dressing room. “Mushfiqur, Riyad, Mashrafe, they all started shouting at me,” Sunny said, relieved that he can still see the funny side of his carelessness. “It was sweet because we had won but I can’t tell you what they said.” The confusion, according to Sunny, began when Nasir started to celebrate in earnest after hitting the fifth ball of the 44th over. The ball sailed into the deep field but didn’t reach the boundary and Sunny appeared to be have been taken in by his teammates who had rushed to the middle to celebrate.
