ENG vs BAN Live Score: In the ongoing 2023 Cricket World Cup, defending champions England clashed with Bangladesh in what promised to be a riveting encounter. The English side was under pressure, having faced an unexpected and resounding defeat by New Zealand in their inaugural match. Bangladesh, on the other hand, entered this match on a high after clinching a fantastic win against Afghanistan.
The coin toss saw Bangladesh’s captain, Shakib Al Hasan, opting to field first. The decision quickly appeared to backfire, as the English batsmen settled comfortably and started to accumulate runs.
ENG vs BAN Live Score: Jonny Bairstow, the dynamic English wicketkeeper-batsman, played a significant role in setting the pace. He stylishly completed his half-century off just 54 deliveries, before eventually being dismissed by Shakib Al Hasan.
However, the highlight of England’s innings undoubtedly was Dawid Malan’s stormy century. He executed shots all around the park, bringing up his century in just 91 balls, adorned with 12 boundaries and two towering sixes. His form and finesse seemed to be in perfect sync, making the Bangladeshi bowlers toil hard. Unfortunately for Bangladesh, Malan didn’t stop at the century mark. He continued his onslaught until he was finally dismissed by Mehdi Hasan after a stellar knock of 140 runs from 107 deliveries.
ENG vs BAN Live Score: Not to be overshadowed, Joe Root showcased his class and mastery. At the time of reporting, he was cruising at a steady 44 runs from 58 balls, peppering the boundary ropes with ease.
The match has so far been a display of England’s batting prowess and resilience, bouncing back from their previous defeat. With Malan’s memorable century and Root’s ongoing innings, England is setting a formidable target for Bangladesh. The latter half of the game promises to be just as exciting, as Bangladesh will be looking to chase down whatever England puts on the board.
