Once England's victory ensured Bangladesh's qualification, their strike bowler Taskin Ahmed started singing a popular song with others joining in chorus.The song is the extremely popular Bengali rendition 'Amra Korbo Joy' of Pete Seeger's iconic 'We Shall Overcome'. The entire team joined in chorus and they uploaded the video on Facebook, which acquired millions of hits.Bangladeshis treat cricket as more than a game. If cricket is religion in India, it's beyond that in Bangladesh. However, Tamim has been in good form in the tournament despite a strike-rate in mid 70s.No one in their dreams would compare Imrul Kayes or Sabbir Rahaman with Virat Kohli's class.Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a legend in 50-overs cricket where Mushfiqur Rahim is still an inconsistent player. Mahmudullah Riyadh is a gutsy match-winner but Yuvraj Singh playing his 300th match is in a different league.Mashrafe, Taskin, Rubel and Mustafizur are a good attack on a given day and that's Bangladesh's best chance to upset India.
