Rahim, a former skipper, requested spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz to obstruct Sri Lanka No. 3 batsman Pathum Nissanka throughout working between wickets.
“When he is running, come in front of him,” Rahim was heard telling Miraz on the stump mic.
Bangladesh gained the match by 103 runs by D/L technique. Sri Lanka made 141 for 9 in 40 overs in response to Bangladesh’s 246 all out in 48.1 overs.

Rahim was elated after the efficiency however felt that others want to carry out with the bat.
“I think Tamim [Iqbal] and Shakib [Al Hasan] score regularly and as they had a bad day, players like Liton, Afif and Mossadek should have grabbed the opportunity,” he mentioned.
“If there are seven to eight performers it becomes easy. They should be more selective with their shot selection and must know when to play low risk shot and when to play high risk shot. I think they (juniors) need to contribute or else it becomes difficult for us.”
