ENG vs BAN Team Preview & Squads
England
Rain caused the first match England played in the World Cup warm-up to be cancelled. Rain forced the cancellation of this match before a ball was bowled. This contest is the second of England’s warm-up games. The management of the England team should take advantage of the chance to evaluate the World Cup roster. In their most recent one-international games, England has performed admirably. Their victories in the Asian Series, when they defeated some of the top teams in the one-day format, marked the beginning of a run of strong results.
In the middle and around the top of the order, England possesses some of the best batters in cricket. With Dawid Malan, Johny Bairstow will probably start England’s inning. Joe Root and Harry Brook, two batters, will lead the middle of the lineup. Some of the top all-rounders for the English one-day team include Sam Curran, David Willey, and Moeen Ali.
One of England’s top bowlers, Jofra Archer, will miss the match because of an injury. Gus Atkinson will take his place in the World Cup. For England versus New Zealand, Atkinson performed admirably. Mark Wood and Reece Topley are two additional excellent bowlers on the English squad.

Bangladesh
In their opening exhibition match against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh shocked a lot of people. By a significant margin, they defeated Sri Lanka, one of the higher-ranked teams in the World Cup. But in this game, they face a stronger opponent in the form of England. Even though India is experiencing its monsoon season, a complete contest is anticipated. Rain has impacted 3 of the 5 pregame matches played in India. In one of the just-finished series, Bangladesh did not perform particularly well against New Zealand. They ultimately fell short in the one-day international series by a score of 2-0.
In their last five international one-day matches, Bangladesh has only been able to win one game. They performed well in the opening exhibition game, though. They were successful in defeating their opponent by a wide margin of 7 wickets. Bangladesh was requested to field first after losing the toss. Their bowling unit’s performance wasn’t up to par. Ultimately, they conceded 263 runs to Sri Lankan hitters. However, they were able to dismiss the whole Lankan lineup in 49.1 overs.
In this game against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh used as many as 7 bowlers. The top wicket-taker for Bangladesh was Mahedi Hasan, who took 3 wickets from 9 overs for 36 runs. Nasum Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Shoriful Islam, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and other bowlers each claimed a wicket. Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud failed to take any wickets. However, Bangladesh’s batting lineup made it possible for them to win in this exhibition game. With the help of their whole top order and middle order, the Bangladeshi batsmen easily achieved the team’s goal in 42 overs.
Bangladesh Squads
Bangladesh
Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shoriful Islam, Mahedi Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Tanzid Hasan, and Mustafizur Rahman.
In Guwahati on Friday, Bangladesh defeated India by seven wickets with 48 balls remaining, therefore we anticipate that both teams will like to bat first in this encounter.
On Monday, we anticipate a lot of heat and humidity throughout this game. But during the competition, there’s a potential for thunderstorms.
This wicket does not allow for too much fastball contact with the bat. On this spinner-friendly surface, a par score cannot be greater than 300.
