Mashrafe picked-up Darren Bravo in his fourth over, claimed the wicket of Shai Hope as the second wicket on the day in the 25th over of the innings while Caribbean captain Rovman Powell was being dismissed as his third prey of the match in the 37th over.
Mashrafe, 35, was awarded with 53rd Tigers ODI cap against Zimbabwe in November 2001 in Chattogram. He got captaincy of Bangladesh national team in 2009 against Windies in the Caribbean Islands. He got Tigers leadership twice more. The latest and the longest span of his uninterrupted leadership career began in November 2014 against Zimbabwe.
