England will lock horns with Bangladesh in their second game tomorrow. Defending champions England are coming off a thumping loss against New Zealand in their opening match, while Bangladesh are off to a winning start as they beat Afghanistan by five wickets. Jos Buttler-led England would be aiming for first win in WC 2023.
England were completely outplayed by New Zealand with bat and ball in hand. The Kiwis managed to dominate England by repeating their own dose of medicine. New Zealand batters attacked from word go and finished the run chase of 282 in a mere 14 overs to spare. ENG batters also threw away their wickets, after managing to get to good starts.
Against Bangladesh, they would be aiming to not repeat the same mistakes they did against New Zealand.

ENG vs BAN Dream11: All-round England aiming to get first points on board against resurgent Bangladesh
With a win against Afghanistan, Bangladesh have some momentum heading into the match against England. While defeating Afghanistan would have given them confidence, Bangladesh would be eager to beat big teams as they are no longer the Minnows of world cricket. It has been six editions they have been part of showpiece events, but not once have they managed to reach the semi-final.
Bangladesh’s bowling looks decent, but it is their batting that is very patchy. Senior batters like Litton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Shakib Al Hasan have been inconsistent. In a smallish run chase, Bangladesh lost five wickets.
