Nazmul Hassan, president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), said that the prime minister called him five times while the match was going on and told him to reward Liton Das and Mahmudul Hasan Joy.
Liton Das played a sublime knock of 136 off 126 balls and was adjudged the player of the match. Liton went off the field for a while towards the back end of the match and Joy filled in for him. He displayed tremendous balance and took a brilliant catch at the boundary.
