Write a letter to your friend about a cricket match

My dear friend

Thank you for your letter. I am not very interested in games. But I felt curious to watch the World Cup Cricket match between Bangladesh and Australia on TV. I am writing a few words about it.

In the toss Bangladesh won the batting first. The starting seemed to be very propitious for Bangladesh. Only two hours later, the trend of the game was unfavourable for our team. By this time three Bangladeshi strong and steady batsmen were bowled out and caught out. The game was very contesting. When Bangladesh scored only 182 runs, all the innings were over. We all in the room lost our keen interest. Two cricket fans broke into violent tears when Bangladesh failed to score 200 runs to qualify for the quarter final. However, when our Bangladesh team started fielding, we expected a good score. But the opponent team was very strong and expert. The best batsman outdid our Bangladeshi players. Our team could not outplay them in bowling and catch. Now the situation was very disappointing for us. When all the innings were not yet over, we found the Australian team scoring 186 runs. Thus the finishing was very discouraging. The Australian team was declared winner. We lost our spirit. My heart began to hurt for the defeat in spite of possibility of victory. I think you watched the game. If not, thanks for not witnessing the defeat.

Hoping to hear from you.

 

Yours ever

Nadim
