[Watch] Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana throws away bat and helmet in anger at lbw decision in IND-W vs BAN-W 3rd T20I
Bangladesh Women's captain Nigar Sultana lost her cool at the on-field umpire's decision after lbw dismissal during the third T20I against India Women in Sylhet on Thursday (May 2).
The reaction came in the 19th over of Bangladesh's innings. Radha Yadav shortened her length as soon as she saw Sultana using her feet. The right-hander tried to work it across but failed as the ball hit the top of the pads. It looked a bit high but the umpire looked convinced by the appeal and gave her out.
With that, Sultana departed for 28 runs off 36 balls in an innings comprising just one boundary.
Following the dismissal, Sultana looked angry and threw her bat and helmet in frustration outside the boundary ropes. In a video doing the rounds on X (formerly Twitter), here's how Nigar Sultana reacted to her wicket:
