This was Nasum's first-ever five-wicket haul in his 147-match T20 career. While Fahim Ashraf also claimed 5 wickets for 7 runs, Nasum achieved his feat by completing his full quota of overs, giving him a superior economy rate. Nasum is now tied for third in the record for taking five or more wickets for the fewest runs on Bangladesh soil in T20s. The record is held by Sri Lanka's Rangana Herath, who took 5 wickets for 3 runs against New Zealand in the 2014 T20 World Cup in Chattogram. Remarkably, Priyandana took all 5 wickets in a single over.
