Dhaka: Cricket-mad Bangladesh erupted in joyous celebration Monday after the national team dumped England out of the World Cup, with fans hailing the dramatic victory as the country's greatest sporting triumph.

Impromptu victory processions broke out across the country, with some of the loudest celebrations taking place at Dhaka University where around 5,000 people had been watching the match in Adelaide on a big screen. The crowds, including hundreds of girls, started dancing and chanting "Bangladesh, Bangladesh" as Rubel Hossain clean-bowled last man James Anderson to guide the Tigers to a 15-run victory their first ever place in the quarter-finals.
