The umpire's final decision left the other Bangladesh’s player also who were standing near the boundary line fuming. Nurul Hasan also faced the fine for his finger-wagging act at Thisara Perera before the things settled down and play started again.

"The incident involving Shakib happened in 19.2 over of the Bangladesh innings when he came to the edge of the boundary and gestured at his batsmen to come off the field while remonstrating against an umpiring decision. As regards Nurul, the reserve player argued and pointed finger at Sri Lanka captain Thisara Perera which led to unruly public behavior after he was sent by the team on to the field of play to pass on a message to the two batsmen," the ICC release stated as quoted by Cricbuzz.

"Friday's incidents were disappointing as you don't want to see such player behavior during any level of cricket. I understand that it was a tense and an edge-of-the-seat match with place in the final on the line, but the actions of the two players were unacceptable and cannot be condoned as they clearly went overboard. Had the fourth umpire not stopped Shakib and the fielders remonstrating, and then the on-field umpires not intervened between Nurul and Thisara, things could have become worse," Broad said.
