The Deputy High Commission of Bangladesh in Kolkata hosted a dinner party inviting the Bangladesh cricket team on Sunday.

The enthusiastic Bangladeshi fans who came in numbers at the iconic Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata yesterday were in utter disbelief as the Tigers succumbed to a humiliating 87-run defeat against the Netherlands in the two sides’ sixth match of the ongoing ICC World Cup.

After this chaotic buildup, Bangladesh have suffered in the tournament, losing five out of their six games so far. 

Bangladesh and the Netherlands have faced each other twice in ODIs. It’s a 1-1 head-to-head record as both teams have a solitary win. In World Cups, Bangladesh won the only meeting between the two sides in the 2011 edition of the tournament.
