Bangladesh fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman is unlikely to play the third and final T20 International against Pakistan, slated to be held on Monday, reports UNB.

Mustafizur felt sudden pain during his third over of bowling in the second match which Bangladesh eventually lost by eight wickets.

After bowling one ball of the third over, he left the field, just after a drama unfolded as a fan invaded the ground of Sher-e-Bangla just to touch Mustafizur.
