The incident occurred during the Bangladesh-Sri Lanka ODI World Cup match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. After the dismissal of Lankan batter Sadeera Samarawickrama in the 25 over of the innings, Angelo Mathews was the next man in but he seemed to have issues with the strap of his helmet and was late on taking the strike. The former Lankan captain took over three minutes to assume the batting position due to helmet issues. During this delay, Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan made an appeal, which was upheld by the on-field umpire.
