ICC CWC'19: Twitterati hail Bangladesh for their performance against Australia
Mumbai: Mushfiqur Rahim's ton could not steer Bangladesh to the victory against Australia, but it ensured that Bangladesh's losing margin remains low. Chasing a massive total of 382, Bangladesh showed fight and courage to post 333 runs on the board.
However, the Tigers fell short of the target and lost the match by 48 runs.
Mushfiqur Rahim remained unbeaten on 102 runs off 97 deliveries, with nine fours and one six. This was Rahim's seventh ton of his ODI career.
Though Bangladesh lost the match, Twitter seemed impressed by their fighting spirit against the Aussies. Here are a few reactions on Twitter:

Amazing fighting spirit again from Bangladesh. They gave extra runs in last few overs otherwise this was their match pretty much.
