After the heartbreaking loss against South Africa in a tense thriller in the T20 World Cup, the Bangladeshi batsman openly criticised the umpires. According to Hridoy, Bangladesh deserved a boundary that could have altered the match's outcome. Ultimately, Bangladesh lost the tightly contested match by four runs. When asked about the potential four runs in the post-match press conference, Hridoy pointed directly at the umpires. However, when Hridoy got out in the first ball of the 18th over bowled by Kagiso Rabada on 37, Bangladesh lost direction.
