The captains were accompanied by young children who wore the jersey of the team they were with. Stumpy, the tournament mascot, was escorted into the ground, on a cycle rickshaw, then pedal-powered cycle rickshaws escorted each of the captains into the center. Popular Bangladeshi pop singers Mila, Balam and others sang the song ' O Prithibi Ebar Ese Bangladesh Nao Chine' (Oh World!) which was enjoyed both by local and foreigners. After the singing of anthem the countdown began which showed a montage of all the scenes of the previous world cup. The opening ceremony started on 6:00 pm (Local Time) when the prime minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina arrived and was welcomed by handing a water-lily, then the Chayanath choir wearing red and green saris and fatua sang the National Anthem of Bangladesh.
