England vs Bangladesh Dream11 Prediction CWC: Eight years have passed since Bangladesh upset England in the 2015 World Cup, a loss that prompted significant changes in England’s limited-overs cricket strategy. In 2023, England enters the tournament as the reigning T20 and ODI World Champion. They will face an aging Bangladesh side in their second match of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, which is also the seventh group-stage match.

England, ever since winning the 2019 World Cup, has been a dominant force in the global cricket scene. Many consider them the favorites to clinch the title in 2023 Cricket World Cup.

While Bangladesh didn’t live up to the expectations they generated after defeating England in 2015 and reaching the quarter-finals, they earned a direct qualification to this year’s tournament, bypassing teams like Sri Lanka and West Indies.

ENG vs BAN Head-to-Head 

England and Bangladesh have crossed paths four times in the ICC Cricket World Cup, with each team winning two matches apiece. England’s loss to Bangladesh in 2015 served as a wake-up call for English cricket. However, they secured a convincing World Cup fixture 106-run victory over Bangladesh in their most recent World Cup encounter in 2019.

Expected Squads: England (Provisional): Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Gus Atkinson, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Mark Wood, Chris Woakes.

Bangladesh (Expected): Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Das (wk), Tanjid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Shamim Hossain, Afif Hossain, Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain, Mohammad Naim.

Players to Watch: England: England boasts an all-star team with several players worth keeping an eye on. Captain Jos Buttler, along with Joe Root and Liam Livingstone, brings valuable experience in Indian conditions and will anchor the batting lineup.

The versatile talents of Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali, excelling in both batting and bowling, effectively provide England with two extra players. Speedster Mark Wood will aim to make an impact with his pace and bounce.

Bangladesh: Bangladesh’s identity has been defined by their ability to perform better than the sum of their parts for over a decade. This identity will be upheld by veteran players, all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, and wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim.

The experienced pace duo of Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman will play pivotal roles in Bangladesh’s success in the tournament. However, the onus of posting significant scores will fall on their in-form batters, Tamim Iqbal and Tanjid Hasan Tamim.

ENG vs BAN Pitch Report 

Despite being a pitch favoring pace bowlers, the HPCA Stadium rewards big hitters due to its small dimensions, making it the smallest ground in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. While Bangladesh possesses an experienced pace duo, England boasts a more well-rounded bowling attack. Coupled with the incredible batting firepower throughout their lineup, the defending champions are clear favorites to win this match.

Prediction: England is likely to emerge victorious in Match 7 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 against Bangladesh.
