Fans celebrate Bangladesh’s most famous night

“I always tell the press conference once we come into Australia, we never thought that much crowd will come and supporting us, but it was amazing to see that people from all over the world, even though they stay in Australia, also from back home they are coming to the ground and keep supporting us,” Mashrafe said after the match.

“It was amazing.”

Now, Bangladesh will get the opportunity to play on the Melbourne Cricket Ground for only the second time in the team’s history, where its likely opponent could well be India.

Bangladesh have shown it will fight to the very end on the pitch and expect its fans to also do their best to drown out India’s own enormous and vocal legion of fans.
