‘Ironically, that situation did do us damage’

Bangladesh coach Steve Rhodes said that he was trying to keep a lid on things in the dressing room when drama ensued in the fourth over following Liton Das being caught off a no-ball but ironically, it still did damage to Bangladesh as they slumped from a strong position to lose quick wickets after play had restarted eight minutes later.

"I have had previous experiences in previous matches where there have been problems. I was just trying to keep a lid on things and make sure our players were not getting too involved," he informed on what was going on in the Bangladesh dressing room.

Bangladesh were 62 for 1 at the end of the fourth over where Oshane Thomas went for 30 runs. The umpire wrongly called a no-ball as Liton batting on 34 was holed out at mid-off. There are no rules for reviewing a no-ball that has been called and Liton continued. However, in the next over Bangladesh lost both Soumya Sarkar and Shakib Al Hasan off back-to-back deliveries. Then Mushfiqur Rahim fell too in the sixth over as Bangladesh slumped to 66 for four.

The momentum shifted in Windies' favour right after that eight-minute break in play.

"I was trying my best to keep the dressing room calm and relaxed. My experience was that this is a bit messy here and we needed to focus on the game and did not want the emotion of the situation to do us damage as a team.

"Ironically, it did do us some damage," Rhodes responded on the how the situation unfolded. Things might have been different had the situation did not take place with the Tigers gaining momentum.
