Amazing win
We are euphoric and immensely proud of the Bangladesh cricket team for their victory on foreign soil against a strong New Zealand side, and that too in their do or die ICC match. This is also Bangladesh’s best fifth wicket partnership against any side. Amazing! Unbelievable! The fifth wicket partnership of 224 runs between the left-right combinations was extraordinary – the highest partnership for any wicket in Bangladesh’s ODI history and the second highest in the Champions Trophy.
We hope Bangladesh will continue in this positive performance for the ensuing matches. We are now a formidable force to reckon with, but we must also not get disheartened when and if the tigers get defeated. Lastly, our heartiest congratulations to Shakib Al Hasan for being selected as the Man of the Match and Mahmudullah Riyad for being such a wonderful partner.
