Default Is this the match that propels Bangladesh

When the WC started in 1983, India won a total of 1 match in 2 WC. Against East Africa. India was a reasonably good side in 1983, but nothing special. When the second match against ZIM started, India was promptly 5/17, which became 6/77, 7/78, and 8/140. That was the last wicket to fall. Kapil Dev would score 175 in 138 balls and India will reach 266/8. India did not look back and won the Cup. This cup win produced a huge interest in cricket in India and India was on its way to become a cricket power.

I am hoping that today's improbably heroics from Shafiul's bat does the same for Bangladesh. (Interestingly, for us also wicket number 8 was the last to fall and things were looking dire.) If this gives the boys the belief they need to win consistently, all the near heart attacks and strokes would be worth it!
