The Mohammedan captain was initially handed a one-match suspension and four demerit points for his first offence in altercating with on-field umpires. Later, his criticism of umpiring led to another sentence of three demerit points, which should equate to seven demerit points and two match suspensions.
After middle-order did not have much to contribute, Hridoy took it upon himself to carry the innings, building a 47-run stand with number eight Tanzim Hasan Sakib and then a 23-ball 50-run unbeaten stand with Taskin Ahmed, who struck 18 off 10 as Bangladesh managed 286 for 7.
The kind of bat speed Tawhid Hridoy generates has already been a telling factor since his introduction to international cricket. At the highest level, however, technique and mentality are opposite sides of the same coin.
