The entire Sri Lankan team celebrated as soon as the winning run was achieved, and all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne was seen performing the “Naagin Dance.”
In a thrilling game between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in Group B of the Asia Cup at the Dubai International Stadium, Dasun Shanaka’s team ultimately prevailed. Bangladesh was eliminated from the competition as a result of Sri Lanka’s successful chase of 184, which was completed in the final over by a margin of two wickets. Shakib-Al-Hasan and company were in the lead for the majority of the match, but in the closing overs, when Ebadot Hossain and Mahedi Hasan bowled no-balls, Sri Lanka received free hit after free hit. The entire Sri Lankan team celebrated as soon as the winning run was achieved, and all-rounder Chamika Karunaratne was seen performing the “Naagin Dance.”
Even the Sri Lankan spectators performed the Naagin Dance to make fun of Bangladesh. It is significant to note that Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka in the 2018 Nidahas Trophy, and Mushfiqur Rahim performed the Naagin Dance as part of the victory. Later on, in the same tournament, Bangladesh defeated Sri Lanka in a knockout match and once again achieved the Naagin Dance during a heated match.
