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.

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.

Bangladesh's batsmen are coming to the crease one by one and returning to the dressing room. Other than Liton Das, no other player can survive at the crease. It turned out to be a completely one-sided match. Bangladesh lost 4 of their batsmen in 10 overs. And collected only 57 runs. Liton Das remains unbeaten with 44 off 35 balls. Tanzid, Shanto, Shakib and Miraz were not able to play well. Mushfiq and Liton are batting now. It is much more difficult for Bangladesh to collect 200 runs now. The Bangladesh team was not ready for such a humiliating defeat after an excellent win against Afghanistan. I thought this match would be competitive.

[Dimitri94]

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.

Sri Lanka won the toss today and were confident due to which they opted to bat. The way they are scoring it totally looks like a T20 match is being played. On the pitch, Kusal Mendis made a huge score of 79 off 56 balls and Sadeera Samarawickrama 29 off 24 balls. Whatever they have scored at this stage will be over 300 runs if they play normally. No matter how good the team is, if the target run is big, their wickets start falling. Sri Lanka could not beat Pakistan in the World Cup, perhaps they will erase that sorrow this time. They are expecting a great win. Pakistan is trying but they are failing probably they will not be able to defeat Sri Lanka in this match.

[Sithara007]

Some sort of a partnership is building between Litton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim. Bangladesh has zero chances of winning this match, but it looks like they are fighting for some respectability. The required run rate has shot up to more than 8 runs per over and almost the entire Bangladeshi top and middle order is back in pavilion. BTW, the England spinners are yet to come to the picture. It has been 15 overs now, and only the seamers were given the chance to bowl. At some point Adil Rashid and part-timers like Joe Root will be asked to bowl against the Bangladeshis.

[cozytrade]

Bangladesh team's bowlers bowled poorly, losing 9 wickets, England team's collection of 364. Now Bangladesh team needs to collect 365 runs to win the match against England. However, the Bangladesh cricket team is yet to be worthy of scoring 365 runs against England. So with such a big score, it is never possible for Bangladesh team to win the match against England.

Now Bangladesh team is batting against England bowlers. The beginning of Bangladesh team's batting is stagnant. Bangladesh lost five wickets in 22.4 overs. England bowlers are bowling very strongly. Strong bowling by England bowlers made Bangladesh batsmen uncomfortable. And due to this uncomfortable bowling, Bangladesh team batsmen, Tanjid Hasan, Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan and Mehdi Hasan Miraj, could not last long at the crease.  Now it is not possible to say what the rest of the batsmen can do. Bangladesh team's score so far is 129-5(22.4). I think it is worthless to expect Bangladesh to win this match

Sri Lanka looking for there first ever ODI world cup victory againest Pakistan today. Sri Lanka have scored 321 runs in 46 over and they will definatly give a target of over 350 runs to Pakistan. The real damage has been done by Mendis and Sarawickrama both centurion in todays game. Paksitan team is very weak in chasing target and it looks that Sri Lanka will win todays game. All pacers were brutally punished today by Mendi and Sarawickrama. Now its on batsmen whether they save this game for Pakistan or not. 

[Fuso.hp]

In each of the few matches played in the ODI World Cup so far, one team has won by a big margin against the other. New Zealand beat England by a big margin in the first match, Pakistan beat Netherlands by a big margin in the second match, Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by a big margin in the third match, South Africa beat Sri Lanka by a big margin in the fourth match, India beat Australia by a big margin in the fifth match, New Zealand beat Netherlands by a big margin in the sixth match and England are going to beat Bangladesh by a big margin in the seventh match today. 
I have never seen a match that was so exciting or ended with so much interest. If such a game is played in a big tournament like the World Cup, people's interest in cricket will definitely decrease.

When chasing a big target, it's crucial to balance scoring at the required run rate and securing wickets. However, Bangladeshi batters seem to lack confidence and wicket protection. Apart from Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim, they're losing wickets consistently. Sadly, their efforts might be in vain as they struggle to pursue the target. Reece Topley showcased an impressive start for England, propelling them towards a BIG victory in their World Cup journey.

Good comeback by Pakistan in these last overs. They gave only 45 runs in the last 9 overs. There is a good chance of Srilanka getting their first win. The last time Pakistan chased more than 340 runs was this year in Lahore against Australia. If they can recreate that same magic then they will emerge as a winner. For now Srilankan team is looking better than Pakistan. Kushal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama are the reason why Srilanka has a big score on the scoreboard.

The Sri Lankan batsmen today put up an incredible batting performance which led to a rapid increase in their runs. The Sri Lankan batsmen, especially Kusal Mendis, have increased their run rate as long as they have been at the crease. Kusal Mendis scored a brilliant century today with 122 runs off 77 balls which was really great. And one more batsman gave unbelievable batting performance Sadeera Samarawickrama his batting performance was great and outstanding. With a century of 108 off 89 balls with his bat, the big runs from these two batsmen helped Sri Lanka build a huge score today. Sri Lanka today scored 344 runs in 50 overs for the loss of 9 wickets which was truly remarkable. It is very difficult to say whether Pakistan will be able to meet the target of 344 runs but Pakistan may be under a lot of pressure to meet the target today. If Pakistan's batsmen don't perform well in the beginning then surely Pakistan will not win the match against Sri Lanka today but there is a possibility of losing. And if Pakistan's batsmen can improve their batting performance then they might win the match against Sri Lanka but it might be difficult.

Looks like England is all set to thrash the Bongs while Sri Lanka surprised most people thanks to the amazing partnership between Mendis and Samarawickrama. Mendis is in heavenly form these days.

Pakistan will most probably lose this one pretty comfortably since Theekshana is back in the lineup.

Sri Lanka has given a target of 345 runs to the Pakistan team. If Pakistan's Matheesha Pathirana and Maheesh Theekshana can see the ball and play well then there may be some glimmer of hope. If Pakistan are to win this match, they will have to play without losing a wicket. However, Pakistan's chances of winning this are very low. For Pakistan to win I think these three batters must play well, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan. Also, Pakistan is keeping 4 batting all-rounders, it is good for Pakistan. Because they will do well in batting. Pakistan wants to win, they have to play at 6.88 run rate then they can win. Let's see what happens in the end. Hope Pakistan plays as well as Sri Lanka.

[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.

I think Shakib Hasan took the right decision. How come this stadium has the record of winning matches by teams batting later. 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.

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.

It was understood from the beginning that Bangladesh will not be able to do it today. Today, England gave Bangladesh a target of 365 runs by trying hard enough to survive in the semi-finals of the World Cup.  First Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan invited England to bat after winning the toss. England were on fire from the start against Bangladesh today.  Bangladesh lost their wicket very early while they were chasing the target of 365 runs. Bangladesh lost all wickets and scored 227 runs in 48.2 overs. Liton Kumar Das and Mushfiqur Rahim formed a pair for the team but could not take Bangladesh far towards the goal of victory. Bangladesh had to lose very easily to England.

[ZAINmalik75]

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?

Bangladesh make a bad decision they should bat first because it's full batting support pitch and they can make a handsome target at bat first without any pressure and later through his quality bawler they defend they required target. Anyway England are much better team than Bangladesh in white ball format so it's oky because they deserve it now Bangladesh should focus on next matches because they just need 5 more victory to qualify for next stage of the competition.
Anyway they can restrict England at small target if they broke the momentum set by malan and his partner, which may be I think the turning point of match while due to bad start and quick early on dismissal really push them down and that why they unable to match the required run rate which cause them a defeat

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.

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.

Bangladesh's batsmen are coming to the crease one by one and returning to the dressing room. Other than Liton Das, no other player can survive at the crease. It turned out to be a completely one-sided match. Bangladesh lost 4 of their batsmen in 10 overs. And collected only 57 runs. Liton Das remains unbeaten with 44 off 35 balls. Tanzid, Shanto, Shakib and Miraz were not able to play well. Mushfiq and Liton are batting now. It is much more difficult for Bangladesh to collect 200 runs now. The Bangladesh team was not ready for such a humiliating defeat after an excellent win against Afghanistan. I thought this match would be competitive.

Bangladesh taam performance was not commendable in today game. Bangladesh won toss and elected bowling first this decision did not favor in Bangladesh team. First match of Bangladesh team in World Cup went very good and their performance was excellent. They defeated Afghanistan team by 5 wickets and many overs remained for battiing. England team give big target of 364 runs in 50 overs and last wicket was unbeaten. In this match, D.Malan and J.Root batting lineup was very commendable. D.Malan scored 140 runs in 107 balls also hitted fifteen 4s and five 6s. Next one J.Root scored 82 runs in 62 balls and he hitted eight 4s and one 6s. After scoring this decent both are out by Bangladesh's bowlers.

Next match of World Cup has been started between Pakistan and Sri Lanka teams. Batting of Sri Lanka already has been finished now Pakistan batters came in field for battiing now let's see who will win this match

[TakeItEasy]

Anyway England are much better team than Bangladesh in white ball format so it's oky because they deserve it now Bangladesh should focus on next matches because they just need 5 more victory to qualify for next stage of the competition.

Bangladesh was good against other Teams, but you know England has a good cricket team, they have been playing well for the previous few years. They have strong batting openers which include, Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow, who both played well in today's match. Dawid Malan scored a best century which includes 5 sixes and 16 fours. We have seen some good cricket from England regarding their batting performance as well as their bowling performance. I can't say that Bangladesh is not a good team but comparing England, England is far better than Bangladesh. Bangladesh played better against Afghanistan, Netherlands, and many other Team like this. But England comes under the top categories of Teams, so it is difficult to win from it.

Bangladesh performed poorly both in bowling and batting in today's match. Many have expressed the opinion that Bangladesh should have won the toss and batted today. Bangladesh won the first match by batting later at this venue, so perhaps Bangladesh won the toss and bowled today. After winning the toss, Bangladesh could not show good performance with bowling. If Bangladesh's bowling had done well in the beginning, if they had made England's wicket fall first, then we would have seen something good from Bangladesh in today's match. England gave a huge target of 365 runs. It is very difficult for any team to win the target by such a big run. However, in today's match, Bangladesh's top order batting Mehidy Hasan Miraz 8, Shakib Al Hasan (1), Najmul Hossain Shanto (0), Tanzid Hasan (1), they scored only 10 runs in four batting which was not expected. If they could have performed well then of course Bangladesh would not have won the match today but we would have expected to see a competitive match.

The second innings 18 overs are passed and Pakistan's performance is not good because the target is so high but Pakistan has a powerful batsmen who can do something for Pakistan. Pakistan have Rizwan, Abdullah Shafique and Saud Shakeel. Abdullah Shafique and Saud Shakeel's performance was very good in the last matches of Pakistan. Babar Azam played very well in the warm-up matches. I don’t know why Babar Azam didn’t play well. Imam-Ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman don’t in their form. Fakhar Zaman needs to play well because maybe this is the last World Cup of Fakhar Zaman. Abdullah Shafique is playing with responsibility at the moment.

[Out of mind]

England team won against Bangladesh by a huge margin of 137 runs. England played really well today and their batting performance was impressive. Amassing 364 runs, which is astounding to have such a big score and gave Bangladesh a high run target. Bangladesh has won one out of two matches played and lost today's match, similarly England has lost one out of two matches and won today's match. Today's match England batting and bowling line-up was excellent due to which Bangladesh could not cope with England and lost the match in the last minute by a huge margin. If the Bangladeshi batsmen had not performed badly today, they would have scored more runs. But due to the bad performance of the batting, Bangladesh lost with England today by more margin. If Bangladesh batsmen play the next matches like this, then they will definitely lose all the matches and must improve their game.

Pakistan have Rizwan, Abdullah Shafique and Saud Shakeel. Abdullah Shafique and Saud Shakeel's performance was very good in the last matches of Pakistan. Babar Azam played very well in the warm-up matches. I don’t know why Babar Azam didn’t play well. Imam-Ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman don’t in their form. Fakhar Zaman needs to play well because maybe this is the last World Cup of Fakhar Zaman. Abdullah Shafique is playing with responsibility at the moment.

Pakistan need 138 runs on 108 balls and they will easily chase the runs. But the problem is there is no trust in Pakistani teams when they show their performance and when to not. Like in the warm-up matches Captain Baber Azam did a good score and played well but today he just did 10 runs on 15 balls and we did not expect this from him. Now the probability of Pakistan winning the match is 76% and I know they can easily do it as the pitch is also bating friendly but the main thing is they hold their wickets and don't miss the balls and if they do this they will win the match. The balls are fewer and runs are more so it will give you all good entertainment at the end.

Yes, the batting start of the Pakistan team was a bit bad. But now Pakistan team's batting has improved a lot. While Pakistan's Babar Azam and Imamul Haque could not maintain their form, Mohammad Rezon and Abdullah Shafiq are in good form. Abdullah Shafiq has already scored a century off 97 balls and Mohammad Rezwan has collected 58 runs off 64 balls. Mohammad Rezwan's half-century and Abdullah Shafiq's century made Pakistan score 186 for two in 30.4 overs. I think, if the players of Pakistan team can maintain their form like this then they will definitely have a chance to win this match against Sri Lanka. However, there is a lot of excitement in this match. A fierce battle is going on between the two groups. Now waiting to see which team can win this fight
