After a monumental innings, any batter would like to be on the right side of the history. However, that was not the case for Angelo Mathews as the Sri Lankan all-rounder finds himself on the unwanted side of it. 

Mathews became the first batter to have been dismissed on 199 in Bangladesh as he was scalped by off-spinner Nayeem Hasan in the final session of second day's play in the ongoing Chattogram Test. 

Having batted over nine and half hour while negotiating 396 deliveries, Mathews went for a slog sweep to bring up what would have been his second double ton. Unfortunately, a faulty connection saw him giving an easy catch to square leg. 

Mathews joined a select few of the unlucky ones as he is only the 12th batter ever to be dismissed a run short of a double century in Tests. The Sri Lankan is unique in a sense that he was the first batter ever to be dismissed on 199 in Bangladesh. 

However, Mathews is not the only player to have been dismissed on 199 against Bangladesh. Dean Elgar of South Africa was also dismissed on the same number during a Test in Potchefstroom in 2017.
