ICC World Cup 2023: ENG vs BAN prediction, fantasy team, pitch report and more
England vs Bangladesh Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023 Updates After a setback against New Zealand in their first match of the ICC World Cup 2023 on October 5, England find themselves in a troubling situation. However, performances from Joe Root and Jos Butler were noteworthy. Conversely, Bangladesh began their World Cup campaign on a high note, defeating Afghanistan on October 7.
Under the leadership of Shakib al Hasan, the team celebrated a 6-wicket victory, primarily due to Shakib and Mehidy Hasan's all-round prowess and Najmul Hossain Shanto's crucial, undefeated batting performance. In the 24 ODI encounters between them, England have claimed victory 19 times while Bangladesh have triumphed in five matches. Nevertheless, it is much more promising for Bangladesh when it comes to ODI World Cups.
In the four ODI encounters between these two, the record is evenly matched. Both teams have secured two wins apiece. Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler (WK), Joe Root (C), Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (VC), Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman.
The pitch at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala has traditionally favoured fast bowlers. However, it could become a batter’s paradise later on. Surprisingly for Bangladesh in their last game against Afghanistan, thespinners had a golden run.
So, the pitch is open to interpretations. The average first-inning score in this stadium is 214. Out of four ODIs played over here, the team batting second won thrice.
The highest score in this venue was scored by India: 330 against the West Indies in 2014. The weather in Dharmashala today is concerning; it may shorten the match if not cancel it completely. AccuWeather
