England vs Bangladesh Live Score, Cricket World Cup 2023 Updates: Defending world champions England will face off against Bangladesh at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala at 10:30 am today.
England had a worrying start to their tournament with a rather unexpected loss against New Zealand in the opening game of the ICC World Cup 2023 on October 5. The game saw England set up a total of 282 for the loss of 9 wickets in their 50 overs on the back of useful contributions from Joe Root and Jos Butler. However, the Black Caps managed to chase down that target within 37 overs despite the lack of many crucial players like skipper Kane Williamson, Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson.
Bangladesh, on the contrary, started with an emphatic win against Afghanistan on October 7. The Shakib al Hasan-led side defeated their Asian rivals by 6 wickets with an all-round performance by Mehidy Hasan and an unbeaten winning contribution from the bat by Najmul Hossain Shanto.
In their second encounter at the ICC World Cup 2023, these two teams will be hungry for a win. The situation is more critical for Jos Buttler’s boys as they need to bounce back after that disappointing loss while the Bangladeshi Tigers will look to continue their winning momentum.
Ban vs Eng LIVE: Jos Butler criticizes Dharamshala outfield calls it ‘poor’
England skipper Jos Butler described the outfield at HPCA stadium in Dharamshala as ‘poor’ and while the situation is not ideal his team will not use it as an excuse. While speaking at the pre-match press conference, Butler said, “I think it’s poor, in my own opinion. I think any time you’re talking about being careful diving, or maybe being careful when you’re fielding, it goes against everything you want to be as a team. You want to dive through a row of houses to save a run. That’s obviously not ideal, the way the surface is, the outfield. But we won’t use it as an excuse. We’ll adapt to it. But certainly, if you feel like you’re having to hold yourself back, it’s not a place you want to be as a team, or as a player, or in a World Cup match,”
