England vs Bangladesh, World Cup 2023 Match 7, Team news
Bangladesh won their opening game of the 2023 World Cup, at the same venue, defeating Afghanistan by six wickets. The outfield is a matter of much debate, but Bangladesh, having played a game earlier at Dharamsala, will have a better understanding of how to adapt, after being told not to dive unnecessarily due to the sandy conditions.
England, on the other hand, lost the opening game to New Zealand by nine wickets and will be hopeful of a turnaround. They are expected to be without the injured Ben Stokes for this clash as well.
Their Net Run Rate of -2.149 is the worst among all ten teams in the competition thus far, as they lag at the bottom of the table.
ENG vs BAN predicted XIs
Bangladesh: Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Towhid Hridoy, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman.
England: Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Moeen Ali, Liam Livingstone, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, Mark Wood.
Match prediction – today’s England-Bangladesh live match
Bangladesh will enter the game as underdogs, but that’s when they are at their best as well. They have an understanding of the pitch and the conditions, but England have a more explosive batting line up and their fast bowlers, who were off colour against New Zealand, should threaten the Bangladesh top order.
