Riding on the seamers' exceptional performance, Bangladesh pushed Nepal down on the mat during a tense run-chase in the ongoing T20 World Cup match between the two sides in St Vincent. 

After Tanzim Hasan Sakib ran through Nepal's top-order, veteran pacer Mustafizur Rahman got rid of the in-form Aasif Sheikh, helping Bangladesh claim the driving seat. 

The incident occurred during the sixth over of Nepal's innings when they were tottering at 24 for three, courtesy of Tanzim Hasan's seam bowling exploits. 

Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto's decision to bring Fizz into the attack worked wonders, with the left-arm speedster dismissing Aasif Sheikh, who scored a valuable knock in the last game. 

Mustafizur had a torrid start to the over, conceding four runs off his first ball. However, he was able to build the pressure on the Nepal batter with two consecutive dot balls. Coming from over the wicket, Fizz bowled a full length delivery, which Sheikh chipped in the air. 

The ball found shelter in the safe hands of Shakib Al Hasan, who took the catch on his second attempt. 

The ball was hit so hard by Sheikh that it initially popped out of Shakib's hands. However, the veteran cricketer managed to hold on to it, helping the Tigers get the prized breakthrough. 

Meanwhile, despite losing five wickets, Nepal are alive in the contest, needing 42 more runs to win in thirty deliveries as of writing.
