However, his match-winning performance was overshadowed Angelo Matthews dimissal. Matthews was given timed out with Shakib refusing to withdraw the appeal.
Matthews did get his sweep revenge after he dismissed Shakib in the second innings. However, then the Bangladesh skipper had gone on to hit a 65-ball 82, put up a 169-run fourth-wicket partnership with Najmal Hossain Shanto, and taken the match away from the Lankans.
