While Bangladesh may be long odds to win the Cricket World Cup, Sydney's Bangladeshi community is winning the fight against teenage crime by getting youth involved in the game.
The Bangladesh Gold Cup boasts more than 300 players and it's making a difference.
Regardless of ability, just two basics rules apply - no religion and no politics.
Gold Cup co-ordinator Nasim Samad said they’ve helped wayward teenagers by introducing them to cricket.
Nasim said they’re forced to learn discipline and respect on the cricket field, which has gone a long way towards changing young lives.
Bangladeshi women also get involved, helping turn the Gold Cup into a major cultural event.
Bangladesh is looking forward to taking on the likes of England, New Zealand and Australia in the World Cup.
