ICC Cricket World Cup Prediction 2023 | Match 07 | England vs Bangladesh – It would be a tough competition for Bangladesh to face the astounding England | Oct, 10
The seventh game of the 2023 Cricket World Cup will feature England and Bangladesh. The English and Tigers are now ranked fifth and eighth in the International Cricket Council’s list of ODI teams, respectively.
One of the most anticipated teams for the 2023 ICC World Cup is current champions England. However, their defense hasn’t exactly had a strong beginning. In their opening match of the competition, New Zealand completely outplayed England. They would have been shaken and hurt by the defeat. Without a doubt, this strong English team remains one of the hot favorites to win the World Cup.
More significantly, the Bangla Tigers will attack England forcefully after winning their campaign opener.
ENG vs BAN Team Preview & Squads
England
Pay close attention to Dawid Malan. The opening left-handed batsman has scored 416 runs in his last 7 games, averaging over 70. Additionally, he has a 62.50 ODI average versus Bangladesh, so he should be able to counteract their spin danger.
Jos Buttler is a constant danger. With 330 runs scored in his last 8 games at an average of 41.25 and a strike rate of 114.58, he is one of the most dangerous middle-order batters in the world.
Ben Stokes, who was sidelined with an injury for the first game, might play in this one. If he does, he will significantly increase the stability of the middle order.
Liam Livingstone can easily tonk spinners out of the ground, and his power at the plate will come in very handy against Bangladesh’s arsenal of spinners.
This time, England’s bowling seemed to be lacking that special something. Of course, their go-to spin bowler is Adil Rashid, therefore we anticipate him to do well in this match. However, this pitch should be far more helpful to England’s pacers than the one in Ahmedabad. The Bangladeshi top order may find it challenging to succeed without Chris Woakes and Mark Wood.
England Squads
England
Jos Buttler (c & wk), Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Harry Brook/ Ben Stokes, Adil Rashid, Dawid Malan, Mark Wood
Bangladesh
On this surface, it won’t be simple for England’s hitters to escape Bangladesh’s spinners. They will be prepared with a few sly tactics because they are accustomed to the circumstances. The quick bowler Taskin Ahmed, who has 12 wickets in his last six games, would benefit greatly from the bounce and movement of this surface.
The Tigers will count on Najmul Hossain Shanto to perform admirably once more in the batting department. He has been their most productive batter lately, scoring 339 runs at an average of 84.75 in his last five games. He led the squad in scoring in the most recent game as well with an excellent, undefeated 59 off 83 balls.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz is another batter to be wary of. The all-rounder, whose self-assurance is increasing with each game, scored a crucial 57 in the chase against Afghanistan.
If the top-order collapses, the seasoned Shakib may need to contribute with the bat as well. Shakib led the charge with an outstanding 121 during the previous ODI World Cup matchup between these two teams.
Bangladesh Squads
Bangladesh
Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahmudullah, Taskin Ahmed, Towhid Hridoy, Shoriful Islam, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Tanzid Hasan, Mahedi Hasan, Mustafizur Rahman
Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium Dharamsala
Four of the five games played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium have been won by teams batting second, including the most recent match between Bangladesh and Afghanistan in the tournament. The toss-winning team in this game will almost certainly try to field first.
Partly sunny conditions are expected in Dharamsala, with a chance of showers in the late afternoon.
One of the few pitches in the nation that consistently aids seam bowlers is that at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium.
