da gbg bet: ESPNcricinfo staff02-Jan-2011Cricket fans clashed with police in Dhaka in the rush to buy tickets for the 2011 World Cup to be held in the sub-continent next month. The tickets went on sale on Sunday at 80 branches of the private City Bank and the state-owned Agrani Bank after the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) made 15,000 per-match available for the public. The fans, reportedly, were angered after being told that only 500 tickets would be sold per branch as a result of the strict scrutiny over buyers’ identification papers. A few fans and a photographer are known to have suffered minor injuries in the protests.”They raised slogans and held demonstrations. We dispersed the protesters and maintained calm,” police inspector Shah Alam told . Bangladesh will be hosting eight matches during the competition.
