Bangladesh defeated Zimbabwe in the one-off Test by 220 runs but the antics between pacer Blessing Muzarabani and Bangladesh’s Taskin Ahmed continued on the final day. The two players had engaged in banter on Day 2 of the Test for which both the players were fined by the ICC for "inappropriate physical contact".
But even after the events of Day 2 and the fines imposed on them, the players continued to engage in banter on the final day of the Test. Muzarabani copied Taskin’s dance after hitting a boundary, while Taskin obliged with a similar reply while bowling.
Earlier, on Day 2 of the Test, after receiving a short ball from Muzarabani, Taskin performed a dance move. The two players then came close to each other and stared at each other.
