ICC World T20 2016: 5 biggest moments from the Bangladesh-Pakistan game

Every second, the future becomes the past. A moment. Many moments. What you once anticipated becomes a part of the unchangeable history. The Bangladesh-Pakistan clash at the Eden Gardens yesterday was no different as well.Many fans hoped. While the Pakistanis prayed that their team would be at its very best in a ground that has been ever favourable to them, the Bangladeshis hoped that their team would keep up the winning streak against eternal rivals.In the end, Pakistan won the high-octane encounter. And quite comprehensively too. Almost every player in the Pakistan team displayed their wrath in a fashion that blew away the Tigers. In a belter of a pitch, Shahid’s Afridi’s men batted first and posted a mammoth 202 runs target for Mashrafe’s boys—and they fell short.Some moments defined the game and here are 5 of them.

#1 The National Anthems

The Bangladesh team stands to sing the national anthem.

National Anthems are always a matter of emotions for the people of related countries. One can see many people in tears when their country’s anthem is being played—it is one of the most beautiful sights ever.

Seeing Bangladesh and Pakistan anthems being played serially was impossible at one point. Hence, seeing the history of these two countries, this moment holds a lot of importance as it shows how the game unites countries that were once in a brutal and bloody war.

When the Eden Garden sang the Sonar Bangla, Bangladesh’s National Anthem, it filled Bangladeshis at home with pride—and why wouldn’t it? Listening to your National Anthem roaring in the stadium of another country is always a matter of utmost joy.
