A major controversy had erupted last year in the ODI World Cup when Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangladesh appealed for a timed-out dismissal against Angelo Mathews for taking longer than usual to play the first ball after arriving to bat in the middle.

The cricket world was taken aback by the appeal, but the umpire declared the batter out as per the ICC rules. Bangladesh won the match by three wickets as 'Spirit of Cricket' debate took centre stage.

Sri Lanka lost their first match against South Africa by six wickets in New York. The match will be Bangladesh's first in the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup 2024. Netherlands and Nepal are two other teams part of Group D.

Bangladesh lost a T20I series against USA last month and struggled against Zimbabwe as well.
