The captains of the 14 world cup teams rode around the historic Bangabandhu Stadium in colourful cycle rickshaws—a symbol of traditional Bangaldesh.
3,500 performers put up a show reflecting Indian, Sri Lankan, and Bangladeshi culture.
Indian singer Sonu Nigam, Bangladesh-based Runa Laila as well as Canadian rocker Bryan Adams were the headline acts of the night.
Just before the ceremony all the 14 captains got together for a photograph. Also present in the hall was what they all are playing for, the world cup trophy. Almost all teams present there would be hoping that in a month-and-a-half from now they would be the chosen one holding aloft that trophy before handing it on to their teammates.
