The T20 World Cup match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh saw ugly scenes play out as pacer Lahiru Kumara dismissed opener Liton Das for 16. The moment took place in the 6th over of Bangladesh's innings when Kumara's pitched-up delivery edged the ball to Dasun Shanaka at the edge of the circle.
Immediately, after picking the wicket, Kumara went to Das and exchanged a few words. The Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batsman did not like the reaction and started arguing back as he was walking off.
