Bangladesh vs. New Zealand

I know next to nothing about playing cricket. Going to a game in Chittagong was less than educational, but it certainly was interesting!

An international cricket game in Chittagong is kind of a big deal, so the stadium was packed. It was the Bangladesh team versus New Zealand. NZ won :(

The Field:

The man next to me gave me us newspapers to put on our heads to block the sun.
Foreign, unaccompanied women seem to attract attention. The "sections" at the stadium were cordoned off by big iron bars. Welcoming design, really. Here's the audience we attracted (not different from the audience we attract . . . everywhere). I figured I was allowed one photo, for the 100+ cellphone photos they took of us weird-looking, light-haired, lone white women:
