Are you ready to witness the tigers make history again? Will Bangladesh national cricket team win the Asia Cup 2016? Showtime has asked some of Bangladeshi celebrities the same questions about their speculations. Let’s hear them out.
Joy Shahriar, musician:
I have been a huge fan of Bangladesh cricket team since my childhood. I started watching cricket at the stadium since 1998, I still remember the first time I watched Independent Cup against India. I always try my best to support the tigers by cheering at the stadium. After all the years of hard work, our players are now in a very good shape. This is the second time we are playing in a big tournament final. The way our team has advanced into the final, I can safely say that we have great hopes this year. I hope we win the Asia Cup this time. If we fail, it wouldn’t matter. This is just the beginning. This is a golden time in our cricket witnessing #The_Rise_of_The_Tigers.
Sharmin Sultana Sumi, band Chirkutt:
There is no other word, no doubt, no confusion, this time we are going to win.
Gazi Sharmeen, RJ:
I think the final is going to be tough for both teams. I am positive about us winning. As we all know, cricket is not just about performance. Sometimes luck is also needed to win at the game. I wish and pray that this time luck is on our side. And I believe that if we are lucky, we are going to win the cup.
Srabonno Tawhida, anchor and model
I don’t know, my gut feeling is saying we are going to smash the final. I have been anchoring the cricket show for quite a while and this time I am feeling that the team’s confidence has heightened. As a loyal fan of the Bangladesh national cricket team I just want to say, come on boys, it’s revenge time!
Kashtan Habib, creative director, Adcomm Ltd:
I consider myself “Kufa” as an audience when Bangladesh national cricket team plays. I don’t even turn on my TV! I only start to watch when it’s confirmed that we are winning. So that’s a sacrifice, no? I would love to make more such sacrifices for Bangladesh cricket team. I wish them a very good luck for the final. Cheers.
S K Shaan, musician:
During the last match my blood pressure got higher. It wasn’t just me. I think the whole nation was as excited as I. Cricket in Bangladesh is just like that. We tend to get very attached whenever our national team plays. So, I have no doubt about our team winning if we reflect on the past performance of the team. The players are on fire this time. All we need is luck, with which the cup will be ours.
