Bermuda skipper Irvine Romaine today said that he has gained at least millions
of Indian supporters as the hopes of Men in Blue are resting on the outcome of
Bermuda's match against Bangladesh.
"Tomorrow India is really banking on us to play
well," Bermuda skipper Irvine Romaine told reporters.
"It is good to have that support. It is good to play a part in the World Cup even though we haven't got the results right now," he said.
Sri Lanka, the 1996 champions, have already topped the
group and Bermuda have lost their first two matches heavily.
India were virtually knocked out in the first round after losing
to Sri Lanka on Friday, ending with just one win from three matches.
Qualification would be huge for Bangladesh after they failed
to win a game in their second World Cup campaign in 2003.
Romaine hoped his amateur side could cash in if Bangladesh
slipped up.
"They are very good and young but inconsistent. Tomorrow may be an off
day for them and we may catch them napping," he added.
