All 14 captains were paraded in rickshaws around the Bangabandhu Stadium in Dhaka as 3,500 performers demonstrated local cultures.
Canadian singer Bryan Adams was among the performers.
A number of commentators felt the highlight of the two-hour spectacle was an aerial cricket match, where high-flying acrobats hit and chased a laser-beamed ball on a "pitch" which was the side of a high-rise building.
The more modern stadium in Mirpur hosts tomorrow's tournament opener, in which Bangladesh host favourites India.
