Bottom Line
Opening the stadium for Bangladesh's passionate cricket fans is a good decision since the prevalence of coronavirus has dropped in recent months. However, BCB must be careful and stringent in order to safeguard spectator health procedures. It might be dangerous for the fans if this does not happen. The national cricket team of Bangladesh will get a lot of confidence by playing in front of their supporters. Because Bangladesh had a poor T20 World Cup campaign and they will be facing a quality Pakistan team in this series. Therefore, team Tigers need support in order to deliver their all on the field against a strong opponent.
