Twitter reacts to Bangladesh becoming first Asian team to qualify for the 2017 Champions Trophy semi-final

06/10/2017

Australia bowed out of the 2017 CT after losing to England in the rain-curtailed game as the hosts were awarded maximum points courtesy of the DLS method. While the Twitterati bashed the Aussies for their horrendous performance, they were equally excited as Bangladesh made it into the semis.

Brief Scores: Australia 277/9 (Travis Head 71, Aaron Finch 68; Mark Wood 4/33, Adil Rashid 4/41) lost to England 240/4 (Ben Stokes 102*, Eoin Morgan 87; Josh Hazlewood 2/50, Mitchell Starc 1/52) by 40 runs (DLS).

Here are the best tweets from the game:

Can't blame them

Right now, this very moment, the foreign relations between Bangladesh and England are growing at the rate of knots.#AUSvsENG #CT17

Not sure about this one though

"@abdullah_0mar: Bangladesh is so happy with England batting that if England want to rule Bangladesh, Bang would never mind. #Imperialism"
