This year's ODI series got the audience on their toes. In the history of the Bangladesh Cricket team, it is yet another time that the women are proving themselves. This has been happening repetitively on a large scale from 2021-present. Bangladesh's women's cricket team is expanding the viewer's expectations from the beginning, resulting in a large scale of audience being moved by their game.
Being a very positive sporty person, I did not expect them to do this good from the very start. It is proved that they are consistently trying and improving. And, when the audience can feel the desperation inside the players, it gives us more reason to cheer for them.
Recently, the female audience has drastically increased due to the intense performance of women's teams in different sports. Starting from football to cricketer to badminton and tennis, women players are increasing day by day and so is the audience.
This time, to bring thrill among the female audience, stood up Fargana Hoques' amazing schematic shots, one after another, releasing extra excitement when she makes a centurion in the ODI against India. This news report spread across varieties of newsletters in a very short time. This is a new beginning and hope for the Bangladesh Women's Cricket team to continue to emerge.
Coming up we have the Men's Cricket World Cup to be held in India, starting from October 2023. Also, the anticipated date of the Women's Cricket World Cup is to be held in India, in 2025. Dates are mere numbers, present to remind the mind about the occurrences. The mood of the Cricket audience in Bangladesh is already set positive.
We are again willing to give all our hopes and inspiration to the Bangladesh Tigers. The men's team is also performing their level best as they have done so far. As the intensity and expectation rates have always been high, this time also is no different. We, the audience are thrilled with the anticipation of how this year's world cup is going to turn to be.
As time is nearing, the tension only grows bigger. Keeping that aside for a while, it is also a very joyous moment for us as a nation that now both our men's and women's teams are playing internationally, representing us and our culture. The better they perform, the bigger our impact becomes as a nation. Also, some social stigmas are expected to drift away.
As now it is the monsoon season heading towards autumn, the season of football is about to end and the season of Cricket is about to begin. It is already in the air. In Dhaka city, most of the universities are holding football and cricket world cups or friendly matches, inspiriting the growing nation. College tournaments have also become very popular.
Coming from the age of Covid trauma to the age of a new beginning, 2022-2023 has given us more blessings and realization of the opportunities we mount to have. Back in 2020, life seemed more lifeless and reckless but now, reflecting upon 2020, life has changed a lot in a positive sense.
Even now, the news reports flood with incidents and horrifying news but now we have hope. This hope is keeping us alive and granting us the power to move on and re-live life again. This teaches us once again, to not take life for granted. Sport has the power to keep lives changing. It makes life, full of sorrows, anticipation, hope, and immense happiness. Sport brings us all nations together and we unite. We unite here with emotions and work with emotions. And, here we unite year after year, season after season.
With the blessing of feeling thrilled, Bangladeshis are desperately waiting for the men's Cricket World Cup, 2023.
