Tigers fans everywhere!

The Saxton Oval isn't a big international cricket stadium. With a capacity of a little over 5,000, the ground at Nelson was never going to share the ambience of its bigger cousins in Melbourne and Adelaide. It wasn't a packed stadium either. The official count read 3,491.

However, even in these circumstances, Bangladesh's supporters were clearly audible. They were dancing, painting the red and green colours on locals and inspiring them to join the sub-continental party.

Most of the supporters came from Christchurch and the University of Canterbury and despite being small in number, their chants were heard throughout the match.

Amongst them was a very popular face. Mahbub Hamid, the father of Mushfiqur Rahim, joined the red and green brigade and led the cheering from the front. He may not have been as young as the other supporters, but he was definitely the most enthusiastic.

Match Facts

• 95 Runs scored by Tamim Iqbal, the most for any Bangladesh batsman in a World Cup game. The previous highest was Mohammad Ashraful's 87 in Bangladesh's win against South Africa during the 2007 World Cup.
• 139 The partnership between Tamim and Mahmudullah, the highest for Bangladesh in World Cups. Bangladesh's only other 100-plus stand in World Cups also came during this tournament, against Afghanistan in Canberra, where Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib posted 114 runs for the fifth wicket.
• 318 Scotland's total, their highest in World Cups and the second-highest for any non-Test nation. The only higher World Cup total by a non-Test nation was Ireland's 329 during their successful chase against England in the 2011 tournament.
