Apart from social media, conversations are becoming more and more animated and in-depth at almost every location in the cities – from tea-stalls to coffee shops, everyone is busy analysing who is going to steer the team forward today.
“I have my hopes on the batting order, now that Tamim is back,” said Md Anis, a tea-seller in Moghbazar wireless more area, “but India has a better one, which is going to be a problem for us.”

Sheikh Sadik, a service-holder, refuted the anxiety. “Momentum is in Bangladesh’s favour, we have Taskin and Al-Amin, who can surely provide enough support to the likes of Mashrafe and Shakib.”
Complacency is also something that Indians are not utilising on their social media platforms as well.
