The Bangladesh cricketers were in a merry mood after their five wicket victory against New Zealand on Wednesday. The Cricketers posted photos rejoicing their win or just enjoying some well-deserved leisure time.

The five-wicket victory took Bangladesh to 6th in ICC rankings and serves as a big boost for the Bangladesh team ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy which starts from June 1.

Bangladesh play their first match against host England at The Oval.

The Team reached England today after ending the Ireland Tri-Series on a high. A terrific effort from middle order batsmen Mahmudullah Riyad and Mushfiqur Rahim allowed Bangladesh to reach the challenging target of 271 set by New Zealand.
