Videos showcasing Bangladesh fans rejoicing India’s defeat to Australia in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium have gone viral on social media.
The enthusiasm and celebratory spirit among the Bangladesh fans have been evident in these widely shared clips, contrasting with the disappointment of Indian supporters.
Australia secured their sixth 50-over World Cup title by defeating India with a six-wicket margin in the final. India could only muster 240 runs after being sent in to bat first. The score came despite half-centuries from Virat Kohli, who earned the Player of the Tournament title for his 765 runs, and wicketkeeper KL Rahul.
Travis, Head of Australia, played a pivotal role in their victory, scoring a magnificent 137 and helping his team chase the 241-run target in just 43 overs.
While Indian fans were heartbroken by their team’s defeat, many Bangladesh supporters enjoyed the outcome, celebrating India’s loss across various social media platforms. These celebrations come in the context of Bangladesh’s performance in the tournament, where they finished in eighth place with two wins and seven losses from nine matches.
The contrasting emotions of both countries’ fans highlight the intense rivalry and passion inherent in cricket.
