There was a lot of heated moment in Bangladesh's series decider against India in Mirpur. India's displeasure with umpiring in particular is reflected in their body language on the field.
India captain Harmanpreet Kaur lost her cool in a fit of rage after her dismissal in Saturday's third and final One Day International in Mirpur.
While making her way to the dressing room, a clearly frustrated Harmanpreet showed a thumbs up sign to the Bangladeshi crowd.
Later in the post-match presentation ceremony, the Indian captain also took a swipe at the Bangladesh umpires, saying, “Apart from the cricket, the kind of umpiring that was happening we were very surprised. The next time when we come to Bangladesh we will make sure we have to deal with this type of umpiring and prepare ourselves accordingly.
Harmanpreet also made offensive comments on the award ceremony. Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty could not accept the matter.
As the series was drawn, a photo session with the trophy was held with the cricketers of the two teams.

Harmanpreet also passed comments towards Joty and co. after that Tigresses captain immediately went to the dressing room with her team.
The issue came back to the captain of Bangladesh in the press conference. However, the Bangladesh captain did not clarify what happened.
“Some things cannot always be said. There were some things happened after that I didn't think we should be there. Cricket is very much a place of respect, a place of discipline. Most importantly, it is a gentleman's game. I think that environment was not there, so I left with the team,”
In the beginning, however, Joty did not want to talk about anything other than the match, “I played the match. It seems better to talk about cricket. Because we didn't think about wickets, umpiring. We just played the match. I think every player tried to give 100%. I don't care what the rest of them say,”
Joty expects better behavior from experienced cricketers like Harmanpreet.
“I will absolutely say that what she (Harmanpreet) said is hers, it is none of our business. I think as a cricketer she could have spoken a little more politely,” she added.
