The match was played in Bangladesh. As the situation was going out of control, the officials of the federation had to change their decision. They cancelled the decision taken by tossing of the coin, and declared both India and Bangladesh as joint winners of the match.

Editorial Perspective

The religious fanatic attitude of the citizens and players of Bangladesh, Bharat’s friendly country, is apparent in this incident. The Indian Government should teach them a lesson.
