England vs Bangladesh – Records & Stats

The two teams are members of Group 1 in the tournament. Bangladesh was able to enter the Super 12 after their good performance in the first round and lost to Sri Lanka in the first game of the Super 12 by five wickets. Whereas England victoriously beat West Indies in their previous T20 match.  They overcame the cricket gurus, whom they lost to in the 2016 T20 World Cup held in India by four wickets. England bowled out their opponents for just 55 and a six-wicket win over West Indies. Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid found their way around the opposing batters and proved their capabilities once again. 

They will look to put their efforts at beating the up and coming to Bangladesh, who seemed like they were to win the game for they were ahead with 79 for 4 with a 172 target, but their bad captaincy calls and poor fielding led the 2014 T20 world cup champions to shoot their score to win. Players who held the team to win were Charith Asalanks and Bhanuka Rajapaksa. England has a powerful batting lineup. However, their top order seems a little bit shaky when playing West Indies, and Bangladesh pace battery will look to take this for their advantage. With the likes of Taskin Ahmed, left-arm quick Shoriful Islam, and Mohammad Saifuddin, they might crack that down.

Surprisingly these two teams have never played against each other in T20I history. Like their first game facing each other, Mohammed Naim will most definitely be the opener. The brilliant players scored 62 runs off 52 balls in the previous game with Sri Lanka. The team expects him to show up for this game as well. The second opener may be Liton Das, who scored 16 runs in the previous match, and he will look to partner with Naim for good deliveries. 

With a team that has won the T20 World Cup title in 2010, Bangladesh will have to pull its socks up and take on any chances that come their way, and a defeat will not look good for them.  

The captain Mahmudullah, a great skipper, is hoping to get a good performance from the team’s batting department to score higher than the 171 and beat England.  

Having scored 171 against the Lankans, captain Mahmudullah will hope for another good performance by his batters against the English side. The team is well endowed with top bowlers of the kinds of Nasum Ahmed, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mustafizur Rahman. 

The two teams have met in international cricket 31 times. England led the head-to-head series 26-5. Bangladesh has only defeated Bangladesh twice in World Cups. However, the two have never locked horns in T20Is.

Pitch Report and weather conditions

The venue of the match in the past few games has favored the pace bowlers. It is more likely that the captain of England will boost its bowling department by bringing in a pacer, Mark Wood, into the mix at the expense of the battle and to their advantage.

The game will happen in the afternoon, and the hot weather of the UAE, which will be above 32 degrees celsius, maybe a little scorching hotter than that the Englands are used to. The weather may be favorable to Bangladesh. 

Probable Playing XIs

With an impressive win against West Indies in their opener, the likes of Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali may put up an exceptional batting attack that could be difficult to know over for Bangladesh bowlers.

England Squad: Eoin Morgan (capt), Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Tom Curran, Chris Jordan, Sam Billings, Liam Livingstone, Tymal Mills, Jason Roy, Chris Woakes, Dawid Malan, David Willey, and Mark Wood.

England has been missing great players: Stokes Ben, Jofra Archer, and Sam Curran, who the tournament was centered around, but players like Mooeen Ali have provided the winning edge the team needed.

The Bangladesh batters showed off so, on top skills against Sri Lanka, and the captain would set Mohammed Naim to continue his exploits and Mushfiqur Rahim to continue scoring and sort out where the and how the bowlers would demonstrate character. 

Bangladesh Squad: Mahmudullah (capt), Mohammed Naim, Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Mahedi Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Nurul Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, Shamim Hossain, Afif Hossain, Mohammed Saifuddin Mustafizur Rahman, and Shoriful Islam.

Probable player of the match

Jos Buttler (England) Batter

In England matches, the batter’s sturdiness has scaled the team to the top order in limited-overs cricket. In one of the warm-up matches, he scored an impressive half-century. In the previous match, he smashed three fours on this way to score in the 20s. The opponent bowlers have to set an eye on him. 

Shakib Al Hasan

He is Bangladesh’s best bowler, who has been in great form with the ball in hand in the ongoing ICC T20 world cup. The tournament’s leading wicket-taker has picked 11 wickets from 4 matches and got two wickets against Sri Lanka. These players cannot afford to drop their guard for Bangladesh to make a comeback. 

England has a 77% winning probability, whereas Bangladesh has a 23% winning probability. Who will win this match? Predict and win huge cash prizes and other amazing gifts on Cricsbet.

CONCLUSION

Great England gained huge confidence after defeating West Indies, but they sure do not expect Bangladesh to roll over. And with the tournament’s gurus, India, who lost their first opener game to Pakistan, they look to have a win to boost their points to qualify for the semi-finals. They know they cannot afford to rest because Bangladesh has come through by qualifying for the Super 12, which means it beat some few teams, and they are looking to end their campaign’s thunderous start. Looking forward to this match to see which team wins.
