Colombo, March 16: Bangladesh beat Sri Lanka in the 6th T20I played at Colombo's Premadasa Stadium to enter Nidahas Trophy Final amidst last minute tension, rising tempers and a lot of "Nagin" dance. The match was a thriller which went down to the penultimate ball and Bangladesh looked out of the game and tournament before Mahmudullah's heroics took them home.

The match was also bitterly fought both on and off the ground. At one point, when Bangladesh needed 12 off 4 balls, Shakib Al Hasan considered calling the team off the field because of a doubtful wide ball judgement going against them. But sense prevailed and they continued with the game. There was a lot of tension and mocking by players of both team with Akila Dananjaya breaking into "Nagin" dance after catching Shakib Al Hasan in the deep:

There are a lot of funny memes being put up on Twitter even as we are writing this, take a look at this meme for example:

Some players of both the teams almost came to blows at the end of the match and had it not been for the team management and other players, something untoward could have happened on the field, the players had to be restrained and stopped:

The entire Bangladesh team, which was obviously pumped up after the victory, came together for a "Cobra" pose.

It all started with this pose by Mishfiqur Rahim after he guided Bangladesh to a famous victory in their previous match against Sri Lanka:

What had started by Mushfiqur Rahim as a wild celebration has now become a default celebration sign for the Bangladesh team. All eyes will be on the final now. This has been an interesting series so far, not just for the cricketing action but also for all the extra-curriculam activities on the field. Will the "cobra" rise again? Only time will tell.
