The Netherlands handed Bangladesh a disheartening defeat in the ongoing World Cup. Before the tournament, Bangladesh's team was considered strong, but the loss to the Netherlands has left fans deeply disappointed. The match took place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata, where Bangladesh suffered a defeat by 87 runs. However, the aftermath of the game was marked by significant turmoil, with Bangladeshi fans expressing their frustration.
In viral videos circulating on social media, an enraged Bangladeshi fan can be seen expressing intense anger toward the team's senior players. The fan's frustration is directed at the players, including Shakib Al Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim, with strong words condemning their performance. The fan suggests that while losing to stronger teams is acceptable, losing to a team like the Netherlands is inexcusable. He even goes as far as saying that Shakib and Mushfiqur should have shoes thrown at them as a form of protest.
