England is set to take on Bangladesh in the seventh ODI match of the ongoing Cricket World Cup 2023, scheduled to be held in Dharamshala on Tuesday. Jos Buttler and his team are eager to mount a comeback after facing defeat in the tournament's opening game against New Zealand. In that match, England set a target of 283 runs, but their bowling unit faltered as Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra both notched unbeaten centuries. New Zealand achieved the target, reaching 283/1 in just 36.2 overs. However, their start was less than ideal, with opener Will Young dismissed for a golden duck.
Conway and Ravindra formed a formidable partnership, effortlessly dismantling the English bowlers. Conway played a blistering knock of 152* off 121 balls, adorned with 19 fours and three sixes. Meanwhile, Ravindra smashed 123* off 96 deliveries, featuring 11 fours and five sixes. Moeen Ali was the most expensive bowler for England, conceding 60 runs in 9.2 overs without taking a wicket. Mark Wood leaked 55 runs, while Adil Rashid and Sam Curran conceded 47 runs each. Chris Wood was hit for 45 runs, and Liam Livingstone gave away 24.
In their innings, England managed to post 282/9 in 50 overs, with Joe Root contributing a half-century, scoring 77 off 86 balls, including four fours and a six. In response, New Zealand's Matt Henry took three wickets, while Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips each claimed two dismissals.
On the other hand, Bangladesh is coming into this match with the momentum of a victory against Afghanistan. Mehidy Hasan was named the Player of the Match as Bangladesh secured a six-wicket win. They successfully chased down a target of 157 runs, reaching 158/4 in 34.4 overs, thanks to the contributions of Najmul Hossain Shanto (59) and Mehidy (57).
In Afghanistan's innings, they were bowled out for 156 in 37.2 overs, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz (47) being the top scorer. Mehidy and Shakib Al Hasan were the key performers for Bangladesh's bowling unit, as both claimed three wickets.
As it stands in the standings, Bangladesh is currently in fourth place, while England is at the bottom in the tenth position. A victory is crucial for both teams, promising an intense contest in Dharamshala.
