Best of luck, Tigers!
Friday, 13 March 2015
The Tigers have achieved a rare feat by reaching the quarter finals of the current WC cricket by defeating England. Paceman Rubel took the last two wickets of England and ensured the Tigers went into the quarterfinals and it was indeed a memorable win. Batsmen Mahmudullah and Musfiq ensured that Bangladesh posted a healthy total of 275 runs. Mahmudullah scored the first century in the WC for Bangladesh and Musfiq missed his century for a few runs, but in the end it hardly mattered as Bangladesh qualified for the next round.
It was a cool and calculated victory and was by no means a flash in the pan. The Tigers targeted England as they knew they had a real chance against an out-of-form English side. It was also a rare occasion when the whole country was united to rejoice together. Surely the win against England will boost the confidence level of the Tigers. Now they must concentrate on their match today against New Zealand. The Kiwis are riding high and so far they have proved themselves to be unstoppable. We all hope that the Tigers will display the same all round brilliance with which they beat a formidable English side. Best of luck to the Tigers!
