The 7th match of the ICC World Cup 2023 will see English locking horns with Bangladesh on Tuesday, October 10 at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala. 

England and Bangladesh had quite the different kick-off in the ICC World Cup 2023. While England stumbled out of the gate, losing their first match to New Zealand by nine wickets, Bangladesh had a sensational start, defeating Afghanistan by six wickets.

England's performance in the opening match was far from impressive, as they could only muster 282 runs for the loss of nine wickets after being put for bat first. In reply, their bowlers had a tough time, and New Zealand chased down the target without any trouble. 

On the other hand, Bangladesh delivered a stellar performance both with their batting and bowling to dominate the Afghanistan team. They first bowled out Afghanistan for 156 runs and then effortlessly chased down the target within just 35 overs. 

Heading into this game, England is eager to bounce back with more strength, while Bangladesh looks to continue their winning streak. However before that, let's analyse the historical data for the Dharamsala pitch:
