Bangladesh vs England

After winning the first match of the World Cup with Afghanistan, Bangladesh cricket team Tigers started the World Cup mission with a bang. World champion England is playing Bangladesh again today. Captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and decided to bowl first with England for the second time at this stadium in Dharamshala. England came to bat at the request of Shakib Al Hasan. England went into bat and collected 49 runs without losing any wicket in 8 overs. If the batting continues like this, England can put Bangladesh in a very difficult moment. In other words, England can score 350+ if they bat like this, I think it will be very difficult for Bangladesh to score 350+. Want to predict the future, can Bangladesh beat England and win the second match of the World Cup today?

[Out of mind]

Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan have started strongly against Bangladesh. The pitch at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala seems to be flat (although earlier I was hopeful that it will offer some support for the seamers). From what I have seen, the two Bangladeshi opening bowlers (Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman) are unable to get any sort of support from the pitch. And there is a very good chance that England may end up with a massive score of 350 plus in this match.

Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow are batting against Bangladesh, these two experienced players of England. They are already going to collect an impressively good score, though today's match could be a win for England. Moreover, according to today's match betting tips, we can see that there is a lot of difference between the two sides. Since Bangladesh have, not yet been able to take wickets by bowling, England's batsmen are batting well. If the England team continues to collect runs like this, then it will be possible for them to get more than 350 runs, and if England can make such a big score, then victory can be assured. If Bangladesh's bowling line-up can do well then it is possible to put England under pressure, if Taskin Ahmed and Mostafizur Rahman can take wickets well then England's run rate can slow down. English batsmen have collected 61 runs after 10 overs as the team is yet to lose a wicket, so they will surely build a higher score today.

England's opening pair is going strong and playing with some intent. They are 89/0 in 14 overs. Malan reached his 50. The pitch is a bit flat, and there is no help for pacers. Both the attack bowlers bowled at good length, but there was nothing in the pitch for them. Spinners can be an asset, but the way both the batsmen are batting, it seems that the ball is not turning, and spin is not as effective as it is thought at the toss. A target of below 300 will be easy for BAN to chase. They are in good nick, and the English bowlers are not in form. It will be an interesting competition. England is looking for a target somewhere around 350. If they achieve this mark, BAN will have no chance to win.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. Bangladesh is looking hopeless out there at Dharamsala. Jonny Bairstow and Dawid Malan have taken England to three-digit total, and none of the Bangladeshi bowlers till now looked capable of taking a wicket. And more worryingly for Bangladesh, England has a lot of firepower down the order. Unless Bangladesh manages to take a couple of wickets quickly, England is going to run away with the match. Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone are yet to bat, and we can expect a lot more battering for the Bangladeshi bowlers in the next few hours.

The way the England team has started batting, they will certainly be able to score big runs. But here I see a fall in wickets but a rise in run rates. In this way, if the current pair of Root and Malan continue to collect runs, then they will definitely be able to collect 380 plus runs. Because today's match is in favor of England team because the pitch is not in favor of bowling. The current run rate is 6.31 and the Bangladesh team must destroy wickets if they expect a competitive match. Because if the England team cannot be kept under pressure in terms of bowling, it will be difficult for the Bangladesh team to win. Shakib Al Hasan is performing best in terms of current bowling as he has destroyed 1 wicket with 31 runs in 7 overs, but others are not performing very well.

[Sithara007]

211/1 after 32.4 overs. A big total, of somewhere around 350-360 is definitely possible. At this point, England is scoring at a rate of 7-8 runs per over but they can't accelerate any further because the Bangladeshi spinners are bowling with very tight line and length. Joe Root has scored at a run per ball, but at the moment it is Dawid Malan (118 from 96 balls) who is doing most of the heavy lifting. If both these batsmen stays there for another 10 overs or so, then it is possible that England may get to a total that is closer to 400.

[2Pizza410000BTC]

Bangladesh is not able to burn in Dharamshala. Did Shakib Al Hasan really make a wrong decision by inviting England to bat first? At the moment, England have collected 259 runs in  36.3 overs with the loss of 1 wicket.  Debit Malan has been on fire at the moment as he scored 135 runs off 103 balls and is Root approaching his half-century. If England continues to play like this then England will score 400+ runs today. If 400+ runs, Bangladesh will not be able to burn so hard today. So I can't see the victory of Bangladesh team in today's match.

[rojan]

In today's England vs Bangladesh match, Bangladesh team won the toss and decided to bowl. Now England came to bat. They scored 279 runs in 38 overs. Now England team lost 2 wickets. Jonny Bairstow was out for 52 runs from 59 balls. Dawid Malan  140 runs out of 107 balls. It seems that Bangladesh team will not perform well in today's match. Bangladesh team has started very bad performance in bowling line. England team may be able to score 350 runs today.

I think Shakib al hasan took the right decision. Teams batting later in this stadium have more record of winning matches. Also, Bangladesh won the first match by batting later at this venue. But in today's match, England batted exceptionally well. I was surprised by England's batting performance. So far England's total has been 290 runs in 39 overs. Jonny Bairstow batted well and scored a half-century and was dismissed for 52 runs. Dawid Malan batted very well in today's match scoring 140 runs off 107 balls. The way England are batting today, and with 11 overs to go, it looks like they can easily score 400 runs. England will win easily if they score 400 runs. Bangladesh cannot win today.

Bangladesh vs England
Bangladesh will take the field against England today in an important match of the World Cup. In their first match, Bangladesh defeated Afghanistan by a big margin, on the other hand, in their first match, England lost to New Zealand by a huge margin.

Liam Livingstone in the press conference before taking the field against Bangladesh said that it is not a problem that they lost the first match by a big margin because they will beat Bangladesh by a big margin in the next match. That is why they have enough confidence in themselves. But there is no chance to take Bangladesh easily, England must fight to win against Bangladesh. According to the current performance, Team England will not be able to defeat Bangladesh by a large margin.

@Fuse.hp while England are a strong team but they’re clearly underestimating Bangladesh here because Bangladesh bowler’s will trouble them a lot hence I hope that they come up with a strong plan otherwise they could lose this game too. Lastly England is trying to play mind game’s with Bangladesh but I’m not sure if it’s the right move as these words will only motivate Bangladesh to try harder and win the game and thus if one gets higher odds then wagering on Bangladesh does makes sense.

Well, I did not think so that Bangladesh bowling effort enough for broke their England players batting partnership. We also know they successfully pull down one batter of England team Jonny Bairstow but he made a full effort and contribute his best performance for team and also he completed his half century. At present, England team is battiing in crease and they made 268 scores and 12 overs are remaining for playing. If their partnership performance continue in next remaining overs then they will successfully set high score for Bangladesh team. Only a single batsman David Malan representing top class performance in today match and scored 140 runs and also completed full century and also near to next half century but unfortunately Bangladesh bowler stopped him. I hope Joe Root will reach at century and 22 score are left.

Yes, Bangladesh team's bowling line is very bad in today's match. The bowlers of the Bangladesh team have bowled till 31.4 overs and are still stuck on 1 wicket. The bowlers of the Bangladesh team have not been able to destroy any wicket of the England team except for one wicket. As we have seen in the last match, Mehdi Hasan Miraz bowled brilliantly against the Afghanistan team. But in today's match so far, despite bowling six overs, I have not been able to hit any batsman of the England team. In today's match, Bangladesh team has a high chance of defeat. The way the Bangladesh team bowlers are bowling, it seems that the Bangladesh team bowlers will completely fail to prevent the England team from scoring big.

England lost badly against New Zealand in the first match. And so they had to win today's match against Bangladesh at any cost if they wanted to qualify for the semi-finals. For this purpose, they are batting from the beginning of the innings. England's batsmen are playing great. The bowling of Bangladeshi bowlers is not too bad but they cannot do well against the experienced batsmen of England. Spin bowlers cannot play such an effective role today. At the end of 42 overs, England collected 307 runs, losing 5 wickets. The team will probably be able to deliver a target of 360-370. That's enough to win on this pitch.

Sri Lanka vs Pakistan

Sri Lanka won the toss and decided to bat against Pakistan. This pitch is batting friendly. High scores are likely if the Sri Lankan batsmen can bat responsibly. However, Sri Lanka stumbled at the beginning of the innings. They lost the wicket of Kusal Perera for just 5 runs in the second over.

In today's match, I consider Pakistan team as favorite. However, the performance of their players is very erratic. They also lost against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup match. Still, I think Pakistan will play responsibly in today's match. Also since the pitch is batting friendly. So Pakistan's batsmen may also be able to play well. The average score of the first innings at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium is 291 runs. But I don't think Sri Lanka will be able to give a target like 290

The way England started their innings, I thought the score would be 400+ today. But in the last 10 overs, the Bangladeshi bowlers found the truck. England could not do well in the last 10 overs.

At the end of 40 overs, England's collection was 298 runs with the loss of only 3 wickets. And at the end of 47 overs, the team collected 337 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. England should have collected 70 runs in these 7 overs. But they collected only 39 runs. Their average is below 6. Even then, if you give a target of more than 350 on this pitch, you can be safe. Also the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is very erratic. They will not be able to stay at the crease for long against England's bowlers. England may win by a big margin today.

[jasonjm]

England batted really well for their 364, but those quick wickets in the last overs definitely pulled back the expected target by at least 30 to 40 runs. At one point, England was looking for a target over 400 when Root and Malan were batting. BAN bowled brilliantly in the last 10 overs. Mahedi Hasan and Shoriful Islam bowled exceptionally well at the death overs. Still, the target is too much for the BAN team to chase. England should win the match comfortably.

In Sri Lanka vs Pakistan, SL won the toss and chose to bat first. They lost an early wicket, but now they are in control and looking good. Kusal Mendis will be the key for SL if they want to win this match.

England played a devastating innings in the first 40 overs against Bangladesh. From 30 overs to 40 overs, England managed to score 11 runs per over. If Bangladesh could not bowl controlled in the last 10 overs, then England's innings would have reached 450 plus runs. However, due to Bangladesh's excellent bowling in the last 10 overs, England's first innings stopped at 364 runs. The bowlers of Bangladesh have done well in other matches and their poor performance in today's match is undoubtedly thought that Bangladesh is going to be defeated by England by a big margin. In a short while Bangladesh will bat to chase the target of 365 runs.

Bangladesh has no chance of winning this match. England set a huge target of 365. And Bangladesh's two top order batsmen Tanzim and Shanto have already returned to the dressing room. Shanto, who batted brilliantly in the first match, failed to collect any runs today. Bangladesh collected only 26 runs in 5 overs losing two wickets. England's top order destroyed the Bangladeshi bowlers today. England managed to post a target of 365 thanks to a brilliant performance from the top order. On the other hand, the performance of Bangladesh's top order is very weak. It is not possible to win such a big target depending on the middle order players alone. Shakib and Liton are now at the crease. These two batsmen are trying to survive at the crease.

Still, I think Pakistan will play responsibly in today's match. Also since the pitch is batting friendly. So Pakistan's batsmen may also be able to play well. The average score of the first innings at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium is 291 runs. But I don't think Sri Lanka will be able to give a target like 290

Sri Lanka lost the wicket of Kusal Perera very quickly. Still the team was playing brilliantly due to the responsible batting of Nissanka and Mendis. But they just lost the wicket of Mathum Nissanka. After collecting 51 runs in 61 balls, he returned to dressing room.
The team has collected 112 runs in 18 overs. Sri Lanka's run rate is very good. The team has the potential to score 300 runs if the players stay at the crease. If Sri Lanka can provide 300+ target then they have chances to win. Because in the second innings, it is much more difficult to win by batting at the target of 300+ runs on this pitch.
I am very disappointed with Pakistan's fielding today. The team is fielding very badly. And this is why Sri Lankan batsmen are getting more confident to play big shots.

Nissanka got overconfident and gave his wicket as he was caught. Mendis is still playing well and has got his half-century, Samarawickrama is rotating his strike. The current run rate is above 6, which is a good sign for the Srilankan team. Pakistan bowlers are trying their best but sloppy fielding is causing issues. The wicket is not even helping the Pak spin attack, this Srilankan side is looking completely different.

I agree if Srilankan batter gets this partnership going then they will easily score 300 runs. Nothing going the right way for Pakistan not only fielding their bowling has been poor they have been leaking extra runs now and then.

[Sithara007]

211/1 after 32.4 overs. A big total, of somewhere around 350-360 is definitely possible. At this point, England is scoring at a rate of 7-8 runs per over but they can't accelerate any further because the Bangladeshi spinners are bowling with very tight line and length. Joe Root has scored at a run per ball, but at the moment it is Dawid Malan (118 from 96 balls) who is doing most of the heavy lifting. If both these batsmen stays there for another 10 overs or so, then it is possible that England may get to a total that is closer to 400.

LOL.. my prediction proved to be accurate. England made 364, while I predicted somewhere between 350-360. Now Bangladesh has already lost 4 wickets before the 10th over. Only Liton Kumer Das has shown any sort of resistance with unbeaten 44, out of a total of 57/4. Mushfiqur Rahim is at the crease, as Liton is running out of support from the other end. Reece Topley just ripped through the Bangladeshi innings with three quick wickets. Who would have thought this? England bowlers demolishing Bangladesh even with the absence of Jofra Archer.
