Coming to his match and overall performance, the leg-spinner ruled the roost. Besides Mahmudullah, he sent back Mushfiqur Rahman and Atif Hossain to put Bangladesh into further trouble.
Interesting of the three dismissals, two of them were leg before wicket. It is an indication of the way he bowls as well with most of his wickets being bowled or LBW. He does not give much room to the batter, and also bowls wicket to wicket. Add his variety, especially his wrong one, it makes life quite difficult for the batters.
